Assignment Instructions: The video clip from Big Mama offers a brief glimpse into the life of an older, single woman seeking to regain custody of her orphaned grandson. 1) What personal and physical challenges will she likely face if the state child services agency grants her request? For many reasons, a growing number of grandparents are assuming all or part of the responsibility for raising one or more of their grandchildren. 2) In what ways can the church assist elder members who find themselves in that position? 3) Government supported healthcare (Medicaid) has long been available to young people like Big Mama’s grandson and other wards of the state or individuals in poverty. The author of your textbook proposes sweeping changes to the U.S. healthcare system, making similar healthcare available to all Americans, offered in a “single payer” (government only) arrangement without involvement by health insurance companies. Do you think this expansion is justified? Defend your position.
(We got access to a 5 minute video. Big Mama is a 35 minute video about an 89 year old woman who is trying to prove to the Los Angeles welfare system that she can take care of her 9 year old grandson. There is an article in Wikipedia about the video.
