Paid Leave Case Study
Dear Editor:

I support Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party for president, on the issues of health care and paid leave. She has amazing ideas to create health care for everyone, and has plans to provide paid leave for a sick family member or a birth of a child.

There are numerous reasons why Dr. Jill Stein’s health care plan will help Americans receive quality health insurance. As stated on Dr. Jill Stein’s official campaign website, creating a “single-payer public health program,” and an improved “Medicare for All” service. Stein’s improved “Medicare for All” service proposes a plan where everyone has access to vision, dental, and mental health programs. These programs will be especially be beneficial and will make America healthier. According to the New York Times and the Washington Post, both respected newspapers, America’s health is dramatically declining, and death rates have spiked. With Dr. Jill Stein proposed health

Jill Stein has the right idea by requiring paid leave for a sick family member or the birth of a child. Dr. Jill Stein declares on her official campaign website, that she intends to establish a paid leave for maternity or an ill family member. This will be a twelve week paid leave, and will be paid by the federal government. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research based at the University of Chicago reports that, over 72% of people support establishing a paid leave service. This poll states the facts that 72% of people believe the government should start a program to provide paid leave for everyone. I agree with Dr. Jill Stein that all full time employees should be able to receive paid leave. By creating paid leave thousands of parental guardians will be able to have more time with their newborn. Establishing paid leave, will also give parents time to bond and care for their sick child, or newborn. If we don’t create paid leave, then parents will not be able to spend precious moments with their ill child or

    On July 20, 2012, Caroline Winter published an article in Bloomberg Businessweek titled “Is Paid Sick Leave Good for Business” stating there is a group of women seeking a bill that would require companies to pay sick leave. This group is being led by feminist author Gloria Steinem. Cities such as San Francisco, Washing D.C., and Connecticut have implemented paid sick leave as a city ordinance but New York’s City Council Speaker, Christine Quinn has previously voted against and continues to oppose this request.

    For some time now, Americans have been wanting to switch to a universal health care system. A healthcare system where all Americans will have access to the proper health care that is affordable and fits their needs. Some solutions that can be implemented are replacing for-profit insurance companies, reforming the health care system, and hiring insurance companies that have slow cost growths. These are excellent solutions because there are a substantial number of Americans who do not have health insurance and desperately need it. However, we should not put a national health care system into effect because our current health care system is in a corrupt state and has to be addressed before we can move forward.…

    “Successful health reform must not just make health insurance affordable, affordable health insurance has to make health care affordable” (Elizabeth Edwards). Universal health care is one of the primary goals the United States wants for all Americans. The fight for universal health care dates back to 1993 when Bill Clinton suggested a reform bill for employers to provide health insurance, but the Senate rejected it and proposed individuals instead of employees to buy insurance. This specific proposal prompted the government with the necessity to create a health care reform. To give all of the nation’s residents basic health insurance, The Affordable Care Act was passed also known as Obamacare in 2010.…

    It is said to be ethics for a living, it is neither impartial nor indifferent to the needs of those who are beloved to a family, if one member family falls ill, the other members of the family do everything in their power to get them every medical intervention whose benefits outweigh the harms. Everybody requires the best care there is to their loved ones. And if there is a provision for them to be privileged with a highly sophisticated employer-based health insurance, then it seems practical. But the sad part is that not everybody has that kind of privileges in their life. This kind of system seems unfair. There has to be a way that provides health care on equal grounds to all, to those who can afford and those who cannot afford.…

Most American women are low-income, and face the challenge of work, family, and care giving responsibilities. Women vested interest in the types in the types of services offer by the health system.
