The pros and cons of our healthcare many Americans are living without health insurance which has to be one of the scariest things imaginable, because not having health care means that that cannot and will not be able to get sick. they can't get sick because they cannot afford to. they have to pay everything out of pocket and nothing healthcare related is cheap. I personally don't see where Americas health care has any pros. I see more cons because if a person does not have health insurance a hospital can refuse to help them.
Universal Health Care In the united states there are currently 46 million Americans with no insurance or are covered by inadequate insurance that doesn't provide all necessary care needed to live a healthy life. Our current health care system is lowering Americas collective health as insurance companies and hospitals wont provide preventive care that creates more health problems later in life due to a lack of insurance .Private health care in the United States is ineffective in today's society and causes concern for the public as health care becomes less and less attainable for citizens in the United States of America reducing collective health of the nation. Universal health care should be the future in the United States health care system which will provide equal care for everyone instead of excellent health being a luxury for a lucky few. The Unites States, one of few countries that holds a private health care system, unfortunately shows the care is inaccessible by average
There have always been reasons to why the U.S. has not taken the step towards universal healthcare. Insurance companies could end up losing many different patrons, the enduring anti-government sentiment, the complications of this type of health care, and even the racial politics of the South have kept the United States from taking the next step towards universal coverage (Quandagno 12). The inevitable truth is that the United States needs socialized medicine, even if it is hard to come by. Health care costs more per person in the U.S. than in any other nation in the world (“Health Systems” 1). According to the US Census, the percentage of citizens within the United States without any type of health care coverage was 15.3%, or 45.7 million people, in 2007(U.S. Census 9).
The debate of universal health care has raised many issues within both houses. While Republicans have issued a statement claiming that President Obama’s health care plan borders on blatant socialism, Democrats have other ideas about the universal health care plan. Democrats claim that the health care plan provides much needed health coverage to underprivileged Americans who cannot afford decent health care. Currently the average number of American’s who do not have medical coverage skyrocketed to 45 million late 2008-early 2009. Some members in both the Democratic and Republican parties stand by the idea that with free health care medical professionals can concentrate on healing the patient rather than on insurance procedures, malpractice liability, etc.
As for whether slashing military spending would deny us needed protection, one could as well ask whether we are safe today with policies that risk "blowback”, bankruptcy, and monetary disarray. All through the debate over health-care reform last year, I cast a somewhat jaundiced eye on those critics who said the United States could not afford it, because frequently those critics also seemed to be supporters of the Iraq war. Their thrift seemed to stop at the war’s edge. They said we could not afford health care, when we plainly could afford it, given our outlandish spending on a war of choice, to say nothing of a Wall Street bailout. $700 billion for the war.
This should not be seen as the problem of the government but the problem of the entire populace of America who are the taxpayers. As can be seen, the healthcare reform by president Obama will only cause deep problems to the people of America than the benefits it is expected to bring them. it seems the Obama administration was not committed to the people of America as they had made them belief in the run for his elections and this has only come to the fore recently and exposed his true image
I agree with most conservative ideas on abortion, the economy, education, and healthcare. However, I disapprove of their Homeland Security policies where profiling, majority Muslims, is necessary. On the topic about profiling, I find it suspicious that the Tea Party movement was not a thing before the 2008 elections. Ever since President Obama went to office, the Tea Party suddenly becomes a great big voice against the Obama administration and most
We have come to think of federalism in terms of intergovernmental relations where the lines divide national and state sovereignty are no longer so clear. There is constant interaction between the states and national which proves that both depend on each other (Levin-Waldman 2012). Many supporters of Affordable Care Act (ACA) believe that healthcare reform is necessary for the American citizens, because some citizens are dying without adequate healthcare coverage, cost of healthcare is rising, and the government believes that this should decrease the overall cost of insurance over time. Citizens of America without healthcare coverage suffer from illness and even die because they cannot be treated in a community hospital. A prime example is Libby Rae.
The United States is the only modernized Western nation that does not offer publicly funded health care to all its citizens; the costs of health care for the uninsured in the United States are prohibitive, and the practices of insurance companies are often more interested in profit margins than providing health care. These conditions are incompatible with US ideals and standards, and it is time for the US government to provide universal health care coverage for all its citizens. Like education, health care should be considered a fundamental right of all US citizens, not simply a privilege for the upper and middle classes. One of the most common arguments against providing universal health care coverage (UHC) is that it will cost too much money. In other
Many people still argue that the sheer size of our economy is to blame; I think that it was a combination of natural and manmade factors that were fueling and pushing California’s Energy Issues to become so big and devastating. Most of the energy issues that we are facing today existed for many years in the past. The recent energy crises that we had experienced in our state were mostly product of our bad planning and the greed of the corporations that were supplying energy to us. If we take a look at our environment closely, we will be forced to face one of the obvious facts; we don’t have nearly enough of natural resources to meet our energy demand. By looking at our domestic production of oil, natural gas and electricity it is very easy to notice that we have a huge gap between our supply and the demand.
