Socialized Medicine Pros And Cons

Socialized medicine is a form of medical insurance the government covers and that is available for all citizens. Throughout the United States 21.3% of the population receive benefits from the government due to their financial situation, however, such benefits are not available for all citizens. If the United States began to offer socialized medicine the government would then have to raise taxes significantly to cover the 82 million dollars in costs. So overall socialized medicine would cost just as much for medical but added to taxes for those who currently can afford medical insurance. Whereas for those who cannot afford it would see a small increase in their taxes but not by much.
