An inventor named Will Bury who whole-heartedly believes that readers of all ages will be listening or reading books on digital devices. The transition from hard copy books could be an invention that changes how the people of the world purchase these types of goods. Bury is aware that currently, these same books are available on compact discs, but he believes that these are an expensive purchase for consumers. He also believes that costs can be cut by having the digital device translate the books instead of having to hire humans to translate the book to a compact disc. The only thing that may cause some conflict in his idea is that when a digital device translates a book, it could sound digitized and readers or listeners may not adapt to the sound as easily as a human voice. Bury has thought this process through and has invented and patented technology that allows the digital device to take the printed text and develop a file that has an option for the reader to listen to a digital voice or listen to a synthetic human voice.…

The United States health care system relies heavily on private health insurance, which is the main source of coverage for most Americans. According to the Center of Disease Control, approximately 58% of Americans have private health insurance. The primary public programs are Medicare, a federal social insurance program for seniors and certain disabled individuals and Medicaid, also referred to as Medical. These two are funded jointly by the federal government and states but managed at the state level, which covers certain very low income children and their families. Health advocacy companies initiated to become visible to assist patients muddle through the complexities of the healthcare system (Wikipedia, 2014). In 2010 President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This Act includes individual mandate that every American must have medical insurance or pay a fine at tax time (Obama Care Facts, 2014). Before the enhancement of medical expense insurance, patients were presumed to pay health care costs out of their own pockets, which is known as the fee-for-service professional standard. Hospital and medical expense policies were introduced during the first half of the 20th century. During the 1920s, individual hospitals began offering services to individuals on a pre-paid base, eventually leading to the development of Blue Cross organizations. The predecessors of today's Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) originated beginning in 1929, through the 1930s and on during World War II and beyond (Thinking Healthy History, 2014).…
