Although, PPACA provides healthcare to everyone, in order to get money to insure all of these people, new taxes were created. The people who suffer the most are the ones that barley miss the Federal Poverty Level and can hardly afford the cost of living, much less having to pay for healthcare.

ACA was designed to extend insurance benefits to roughly 30 million uninsured Americans.

That reason is people that are very sick are in the same health care plan as people that are healthy, and they never visit the doctor. So, healthy people are paying the costs for sick people to go to the doctor.

President Lyndon Johnson announced in his January 1964 State of the Union address, “This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.” Within the 50 years since this announcement by then President Johnson, the amount spent on the attempt to alleviate poverty by taxpayers has been well over 22 trillion dollars. According to Robert Rector and Rachel Sheffield , this spending, which does not include Social Security or Medicare, is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution. However, we continue to have poverty and we continue to see many people lack the necessary means to become self-sufficient thus heavily relying on social programs to bridge the gap between poverty

Under FPTP, millions of votes are squandered every election. Numerous voters are left to choose whether to squander their vote or to vote "deliberately" for an applicant they won't not favor, but rather who may win against another hopeful they incline toward even less. Under PR, not very many votes are squandered, and the requirement for key voting is about killed. That is on the grounds that under such a framework, a party will get an extent of seats generally equivalent to its share of prominent vote bolster in a given district.

Before the Affordable Care Act was put into work, over 45 million Americans were uninsured. The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was then made to help those who were uninsured. It allowed people with financial struggles with the same opportunity as everyone else to have a healthcare plan. Even though the law was passed in 2010, it took a full year of back and forth to get it passed in the Senate. Obamacare may help you get coverage, but charge you an annual fee if you don’t have one.

As Bernie Sanders once said, “Health care must be recognized as a right, not a privilege.” Most developed countries choose to live by this quote while the United States of America chooses to go against it. Universal health care has benefits on multiple levels, whether it’s a single individual or the people in a whole. The U.S is one of the few developed countries that doesn’t offer universal health care to their people, yet the U.S spends more than seventeen percent of their GDP on health insurance. Many people believe that universal health care is a simple one solution problem, but the truth is that there are multiple forms of universal health care that provide all citizens with the health insurance they need.

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. The most secure solution for many problems in America, such as wasted spending on a flawed non-universal health care system and 46.8 million Americans being uninsured, is to organize a national health care program in the US that covers all citizens for medical necessities.
