The author of “ColoradoCare: [sci] Universal healthcare plan has democrats divided” is Josiah Hesse on Friday, May 20, 2016. The article “ColoradoCare” [sci] is slanted towards the supporting side of universal healthcare. The author only mentions democrats by name and hardly says anything about the republicans. However, you can also tell that the article is bias in the sense that he only talks about all of the politicians who are against the universal healthcare.
Universal Healthcare The term universal healthcare stands for any healthcare system that is managed by the government. It may cover programs such as government hospitals and other health facilities. Universal health care ensures that all the citizens can access preventive and rehabilitative healthcare services that they need. Government management in the system includes payment or subsidizing of medical services.
Canadian Universal Healthcare Healthcare in the United States is currently called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Since the new administration, there leaves a lot of uncertainty if one will still be able to obtain health insurance in the years to come. If the United States could learn from other countries on how to improve our existing PPACA, it may be very advantageous to the United States. As far as universal health Care in North America, Canada has offered this for many decades, and the people of Canada have a reassurance that their medical needs are taken care of. I will briefly discuss the Canadian universal healthcare cost, the efficiencies, and if Canadian healthcare is better than the (PPACA) in the United States.
However, some might say that the benefits outweigh the odds as more people will be able to have better health care so it is benefiting humanity. But, Universal Healthcare should not happen. If Universal Healthcare happens, how would the government pay for it?
The current debate concerning the implementation of universal healthcare in America is hard to understand because it is comprised most of practical arguments of concern for the motives behind the project. Before one asks how much it will cost, how it will be organized, or whether “the uninsured” will benefit, they should ask whether implementing universal healthcare is best for keeping with the values and principles of the American way. In other words, is universal healthcare good for America? Universal healthcare is not good for America.
There are still significant barriers present up to this day that prevents greater access to quality health care and achievement of desired outcomes. Such barriers include lack of formal training for health care providers, communication deficits between providers and patients, complex and unnecessarily complicated financing systems that limit access to appropriate care, and health care providers that lack awareness about steps they might take to ensure that people with intellectual or developmental disabilities have access to appropriate competent care. This is an article that provides awareness for the readers about the lack of education and preparation for some nurses and the deinstitutionalization of these individuals. But somehow created a review and gives information on an available program to establish the support needed for a fully integrated care for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The author provides the readers with insight on some relevant and needed themes to provide the quality of life care.
I believe that healthcare should be treated as a basic right. Many countries have Universal Healthcare and most of their citizens are much healthier and happier than citizens in the United States. There are pros and cons to every law or reform that is created, in my opinion, I think that the pros out way the cons for Universal Healthcare. Other countries care about their citizens, whereas the American government only cares about money and not the well-being of the population. There are many benefits to having Universal Healthcare, for instance, the stress of how you are going to afford a pregnancy, illness, disease, anything that may come about medical wise is not something to stress over with Universal Healthcare because tax dollars that all citizens pay for help aid in the cost.
America's Healthcare Accessibility Despite the fact that millions of Americans struggle to get the essential medical treatment, access to healthcare is a fundamental human right. This essay explores the reasons in favor of universal healthcare in the United States and responds to criticisms that draw attention to issues of cost and government intrusion. In addition to being morally required, ensuring universal access to healthcare in America is crucial for advancing public health, minimizing healthcare inequalities, and establishing economic stability. The advantages of providing all people with access to healthcare greatly outweigh the drawbacks, which is why it is critical to adopt policies that emphasize equitable healthcare provision. Opponents
First, it would fulfill what the Constitution has set out for the government to do. According to the Preamble of the Constitution, the government is supposed to promote the general welfare, and in the Declaration of Independence the people have unalienable rights, such as life (Right to Health Care). By having health care for all, the government would be fulfilling its purpose it was set out to do. Next, universal health care could potentially lower costs. According to Right to Health Care, it is estimated that the total amount of money spent on healthcare would be lowered by $592 billion, if made fully public.
“Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” are all unalienable rights(Dec. Of Ind.). This phrase does not seem to accommodate those who our capitalistic society deems indigent. Repudiating about 44 million people’s “right” to healthcare and another 38 million people’s “right” to adequate healthcare is a hypocrisy (PBS). Realizing the discrepancy between the ethics of our country and its execution is the point everyone misses.
Main Argument: P1: The costs of health care would decrease if we have universal health care. P2: Universal healthcare needs to be available for everyone just like education is. P3: Having healthcare would allow individuals to get the health care that they so deserve. C:
Healthcare in the United States is in desperate need of reform. There are several rationales to further explain this proposition. As an illustration, the Declaration of Independence states our unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In other words, every individual should be entitled to healthcare as it preserves life and promotes the general welfare. The federal government should, therefore, enact a program of universal health to better protect and serve all of its citizens.
Is the U.S. healthcare system actually the best option for Americans or going to a universal healthcare system better for us? There is an article by Claire Parker about how the U.S. ranks at the bottom of the healthcare system. It is very intriguing to read about the studies of America and other countries on their fight with the healthcare systems. A universal healthcare system has its pros and cons like healthcare are free and could save lives but, if it is free then doctors’ offices will be filled, and nobody could get an appointment. Charles Parker and her use of logical reasoning has helped me build the opinion that universal healthcare should not be an option for the U.S that there are other ways to help fix these issues stated.
Some other countries have a universal health care system. In 2010 the United States Congress passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which was signed into law by President Barack Obama (healthcare.gov). The ACA was legislation that was designed to help low income and uninsured Americans get healthcare coverage (procon.org). Citizens are able to go online and shop exchanges for health insurance plans. There are also subsidies provided by the government for people who still can’t afford the insurance (procon.org).
Universal health care is a valuable service and should be available in all countries. In many countries millions of people suffer from not having access to healthcare they deserve or not being able to pay for the healthcare they need. In the states alone, an estimated 50 million people do not have insurance because of the inability to pay for it. Universal health care would be beneficial to all countries because it would not exclude anyone from getting the necessary help, it would prevent the insurance companies from denying care, and it would contribute to preventative care to take place.
