This week we are going to do a quick review over the US government and get our writing pens out as we look at actual policymaking! Our first challenge question for the day is “so how does the US government pass a bill again? What are communication strategies to use during the policymaking process? And what job could be involved in this process without being an actual Senator or Representative??

The United States has shown to be one of the most powerful countries in the world, but there is one area that we are weak in - our healthcare system. Today’s challenge questions are how is the United States health care compared to other countries? What have we done to make health care better? And what do other countries health care look like?

This week our challenge questions are why do rural areas need your generation to help with their health?. Next, do you know how you can be a detective of an issue and get your magnifying glass to look at an issue? And finally, have you thought how staffing ratios could be an influential factor to increasing rural health?

Welcome to “Inspiring Youth!” As you strive to determine what identity you want to have, you have the power to decide who you want to become. Our 3 main points for today are in the form of challenge questions. Our first challenge question for the show today is Mom always tells you to eat healthy and exercise, but is that all there is to health or is there more? Next, who cares about policy? Finally, why does the vote matter so much?
