Intro Paragraph:

Howard Schneider, a writer at the Washing Post, states that “The United States ranks 112th out of 122, for example, on the obesity scale.

As more people become insured because of government involvement, the prices of healthcare will decrease.

On average, medical costs in the United States are 2X more than other developed countries. A large part of this is due to the uncharacteristic lack of government involvement. I believe that if the government helps regulate the prices of services and medicine, then the impact of not having Obamacare or cutting Medicaid’s budget would have less of an adverse effect on the population. There are many ways the price of health care could be reduced, but a way the government can directly impact this issue is by negotiating prices. If this were to happen, the need of high coverage health insurance could decrease.

Health care in the United States costs people more than it does the citizens of any of the other modernized country in the world. This means it is logical that the national government would make reforms to improve the situation for all people. However, in a country with a constitution granting freedom to the people, a plan such as Obamacare calls into question just how far the government is allowed to extend beyond these promised rights in in order to assist the people. The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was officially passed on March 23, 2010.

Health care should not be considered a political argument in America; it is a matter of basic human rights. Something that many people seem to forget is that the US is the only industrialized western nation that lacks a universal health care system. The National Health Care Disparities Report, as well as author and health care worker Nicholas Conley and Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), strongly suggest that the US needs a universal health care system.
