Study the cartoon by Signe Wilkinson. How does satire create meaning in this cartoon? The expressions on the turkeys' faces make it clear that they are not happy with their situation. The turkeys are bigger than the fence, signifying the importance of health care compared to other things. The barn is small compared to the turkeys, showing that turkeys are mistreated by farmers. The turkey heading for slaughter asking about health care critiques current healthcare systems.

In this cartoon by Signe Wilkinson, turkeys are lined up. One of the turkeys asks the other 'How's your health care?'

The turkeys are a representation of the mass, the population dependent on health care. In the U. S., health care is expensive, and people under the age of 65 are expected to pay for medical services, often relying on private health insurances to provide some coverage. While many countries have a national system of health, such as Brazil - which has the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) - the U. S. offers its Medicare program to a very specific part of the population.

Public health insurance in America does not offer much coverage, meaning people are left to fend for themselves in case of necessity.

The answer is, thus, the last option: The turkey heading for slaughter asking about health care critiques current healthcare systems.

Answer: D

The turkey heading for slaughter asking about health care critiques current healthcare systems.
