Declining Trust in the Health Care System (The Trust Crisis)
Health reform is mired in the morass of multitiered payment systems and multiple modes of access, limited by the ability to seek and to pay. Increasingly, patients are interacting with multiple entities within the system, causing more and more confusion on the part of the patient. According to recent research, patients trust in the system, providers, and insurers continues to decline. This may result in a decline in individual health and an increase in costs for health care.

Critically explain how gender, race, class, and privilege interact with adultism to influence the familys discourse related to Ebonis pregnancy as well as other family dynamics.
Discussion 1: Impact of Ageism and Adultism
Adultism refers to the oppression of young people by adults. The popular saying children should be seen and not heard is used as a way to remind a child of his or her place and reaffirm the adults power in the relationship. The saying suggests that childrens voices are not as important or as valid as an adults and they should remain quiet. Children are often relegated to subordinate positions due to socially constructed beliefs about what they can or cannot accomplish or what they should or should not do; this in turn compromises youths self-determination. This oppression is further highlighted when considering the intersection of age with race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation. You will be asked to consider all of these when reviewing the Logan case and Parker case.
