Universal Health
Care: What Exactly Is It?
Universal
Health Care has been in the news lately and every political
campaign usually talks about it
somewhere down the line. Universal health care is getting
health care for every living American no matter how poor, how
rich
or ethnic backgrounds. Universal Health Care is one
of the few services that haven't reached across the board of
all American
citizens. Universal heath care would reduce the burden that
is taxing our health care system, which is right now in crisis.
We don't have enough doctors or nurses to staff our hospitals
now.
A
universal health care must meet certain requirements to
work well in the United States. We must include the entire
population, which would include men, women, children, and immigrants.
No one should be without it. This program could be wide open
to discrimination so we must make sure it runs smoothly and
corruption isn't anywhere to be found. Access to care is a
must. Many times people don't have ways to get health care.
We must provide transportation to and from the medical facilities
so they can receive the proper treatment.
A
benefits package for universal health care is a must. Primary
and specialty care must be included in the package. If we don't
make sure we cover every aspect of health care we are doomed
to fail. Most people can’t afford health care and it has become
a luxury for most rather than a necessity. A lot of consumers
have been priced right out of it. We need to get universal
health care so these consumers can get the health care they
need. Why is this important? Millions and millions of dollars
are lost to workers being sick and not being able to do their
jobs. Lost productivity hurts everyone involved. Fewer goods
are manufactured thus increasing prices for the consumer. Health
care is probably the most important subject in America today.
Universal health care needs to adopted and implemented by a
single source. This will save a lot of heartaches and problems.
Poor
health causes many problems that universal health care
could stop. The poor struggle to pay for housing and other
needs just to make it through everyday. This can lead to mental
illness and the quick depletion of their resources and becoming
homeless is the natural progression. One number that people
will find unbelievable is the amount of people without access
to health care. Over 15 percent of Americans lack public or
private health care. No universal health care puts public health
at risk as untreated diseases can go unabated for years before
the government can catch them. How many lives will we lose
to this?
With
insurance premiums skyrocketing one of the main reasons
for this is; all the uninsured people who have to access free
or low cost medical services. The only real way to recuperate
the loss revenue by companies is to increase premiums to people
who are now paying them. Universal health care would help control;
costs and give everyone at least the opportunity to access
health care. It should be a right of every American to have
good health care.
Universal health care is something America has needed for
a number of years now, so what's keeping it from happening? Many factors contribute to this and their really are no easy
answers. Let’s look at a few and see why we’re one of the few
countries without universal healthcare. Being a free country
having universal health care would limit the amount of money
doctors, dentists could charge everyone. This would not make
those in the medical community very happy to have their earning
power limited. How many other industries do we limit what someone
earns and you have to look what is a certain service worth
that a doctor or lawyer does. Can we really tell them it's
only worth this amount?
Universal health care has a lot of questions that probably
will have to be answered before it will be universally accepted.
Getting major health care providers on board is really the
only way that it will work in America. I guess only time will
tell if Universal health Care is what all Americans really
want.
