Final Project

I have struggled a lot with ideas for this final project. After talking to my father I came with an idea that I think could be really interesting.
The United States is arguably one of the wealthiest nations in the world. Even the poor in our country have more money and opportunity than many of the middle class in other nations. How is it, with all of this privilege, that we still have people walking around without health care? I want to analyze this problem and further research it. Is this a right that people have or more of a privilege? If it is a right who should pay for it? The government, churches, private organizations? To humanize it, I was also going to try to see if Vanderbilt has a free clinic that I could go and watch or volunteer at on a Saturday and maybe talk to some of the patients and people who staff it.
Is this an ok idea, or do I need to go in a different direction?
