The Affordable Care Act has made notable changes thus far. The new law requires all Americans enroll in a health plan or pay a penalty. The law prohibits insurance companies from excluding children with medical conditions and terminating coverage if they become sick. Adult children can remain on their parents' health insurance plan until they are 26 years old. All new plans provide free preventive services.
It has also been established that people without insurance receive little care, get sick more often and thus die quicker (Gilfords et al, 2005). This will be prevented. It will also reduce the current healthcare costs thereby reducing the instances of medical travels abroad (Karrupan & Karrupan, 2011). However, expanding this access is very costly in terms of funding. Sustaining an expanded healthcare program is

This is also invalid because it is better to pay taxes rather than over priced medical bills. The last con is that people will have a longer wait time. That is also invalid because the more people that visit the more of a demand there will be for Doctors. A universal health care system would extend care to all Americans regardless of social status or bank account. Health care has become extremely unaffordable for both businesses and individuals.
America has their reservations that a universal health may not work because of its lack of choices and freedoms. There are pros and cons to having a universal health care system. For one, a universal health care offers free health services to people that cannot afford health care the services they need. The cons, is that a universal health care system often results in long wait times for patients and not everyone may receive the type of care that they need. The rising cost of health care has cause the government to step in and control regulations and spending; thus creating a health care reform system.
One of the most controversial issues we have today. The scarcity of organ donations in America is the main reason there is a sudden diversion of possible source of organs. Beginning with donations of organs from cadaver to living donors, different strategies sprung just to reduce the said shortage; as a result of this quest, sale and paid organs is one of the approaches that gathered too much attention from the public. The question remains, should we get compensated for a good deed, or does that contradict the whole reasoning. Yet, the doctors get paid by the families of those who need the organs, is this wrong too.
Hardin says that the population growth is a major problem of utilitarianism that has not been answered by anybody. Pollution rates would go up, and we would be “locked in a system of fouling our own nest” according to Hardin. If everything was shared by everybody Hardin says that it is inevitable that everything would be trashed because that is what people do best. It is not just because people like to litter but more because things would be overused he says. He says the population will always grow but our resources are limited.
These problems carry overwhelming costs to individuals who have scant resources to spare and to the majority of taxpayers, both of whom struggle with the burden of attempting to manage healthcare costs on a crisis-by-crisis basis. This is a problem that can, and should be rectified by our government officials. The World Health Organization defines health as: “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (WHO, 1995). Our nation as a whole is far from healthy according to this definition the well-being of our nation is in serious danger. The term "social class" originally referred to groups of people holding similar roles in the economic processes of production and exchange, such as landowner or tenant, employer or employee.
This isn’t healthy or safe for any of us to be working in any longer. This revolution is only negatively impacting us, and it isn’t fair to continue this type of treatment. The more workers we get, the more disease continues to spread. Lung disease is spreading and the workers are always sick and coughing. I can’t afford to get sick, considering I have a family to support.
However, working adults can use the benefits of the medical insurance, which will give them an opportunity for a decent medical service and reduce the general taxation burden. The issue of health care throughout the years has been a major issue in the society in the United States and it is one of the most important aspects of an election campaign of any political party. One issue concerning healthcare is that it is very expensive and more than 52 million people do not have any coverage or they have less adequate coverage. In addition, it is very important for people to have coverage for general healthcare maintenance and just in case, something drastic occurs, in their life. A well-organized, efficient health care system is not that easy to provide and one of the key problems on the way to the ideal hospitals and medical help is proper funding.
