Healthcare, YES!

I believe that before we (the people that support universal healthcare) try to convince the national government to adopt universal health care, we HAVE to convince our fellow citizens and official holders to adopt universal healthcare. By convincing our fellow citizens and official holders we will have a bigger support group. How? By explaining to them the many problems with not having universal healthcare.

There are many suffering and ill people at the moment and we we’re not doing anything about it, which is said. In face, the number of uninsured U.S residents has grown to over 45 million. The adoption of a universal healthcare system should be in consideration by our national government now, but it’s not. It is time for the people that support universal healthcare to step up and convince the government that a universal healthcare system will benefit millions of people. Today there are many new sicknesses and diseases that are occurring; the negligence of the government on universal healthcare is becoming a major problem to our society. What’s going to happen when kids are sick, and there parents can’t bring them to the doctor and get medicine because it’s too expensive?

I think that we can eliminate wasteful inefficiencies such as duplicate paper work, claim approval, etc.—our current healthcare system generates too much overhead. Instead of doctors maintaining their own record-keeping system, a universal health care plan would allow us to build one centralized system making it easier for people when at the hospital.  Most importantly, medical professional can concentrate on healing the patient rather than on insurance procedures. A simplified universal health system would allow doctors, nurses, and other medical professions to simply focus on doing what's best for the patient because medicine is a complex enough subject as it is.

Healthcare has expanded in many different countries, so why doesn’t the “greatest” countries have it? Health care should not be a luxury. I believe that EVERYONE needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and you should too. It’s time for the government to work on making things better for their country and its citizens starting with their health and well-being.

RE: Universal Health Care...Why not?!

Looking through the blogs, I came across Sarah Nguyen's satisfying blog about universal healthcare. Sarah, I completely agree with you that the government should adopt universal healthcare. Healthcare has been one of the major problems in the United States. If the government was to provide America with healthcare it will help many of the sick and diseased people. There are 45 million people without a form of healthcare. Image how much that would benefit us as a nation. People now a days need to keep healthy for various reasons, most important to work and support there loved ones. Sarah makes an excellent point when stating, “Universal health care is now expanding in a lot of countries. Why do so many other countries have universal healthcare? They do it because it saves more lives and solves greater issues than how much they will be paying for their taxes.” I absolutely agree with that. Basically, the government spends massive amounts of money on project that are useless to many Americans, so why know invest in a project that could save millions of lives? 


I think it’s absolutely sad to live in one of the “greatest” countries without health. As stated in Sarah’s blog, even President Barack Obama believes that a universal health care system should be executed, the President says, “We have the ideas, we have the resources, and we will have universal health care in this country by the end of the next president’s first term.” Many people argue and complain about high tax rates; however, Americans today spend extensive amounts of money on all kinds of things. For example, luxury cars, luxury hotels, gigantic mansions, the list is endless. So, why can’t we spend money on a project that could save millions of lives? It is crucial for the government to adopt universal health.
