The Advantages Of A Universal Healthcare System
Although American scientists, doctors, and businessmen have produced the most advanced medical technology in the world, American healthcare is in a state of crisis. With so many new technologies and medical improvements, health care is becoming more and more out of reach for American citizens. Due to the rise of healthcare costs in the United States, there should be a universal healthcare system. There are many facts and reasons supporting this claim. Continue reading to find out the several benefits that outweigh the disadvantages.
One reason supporting this claim is that every citizen could get health insurance. One third of young adults in the United States do not have health insurance. This is a very high population that is unsafe
and should be fixed. Most people are concerned with the high costs of insurance, but a universal healthcare would actually do just the opposite. It would actually lower the annual cost because it is not dictated by private insurance companies.
In addition to the provided healthcare, every citizen would also get preventative care. Preventative care would include things like mammograms and yearly check ups. With lower costs for universal health care, more people would not wait until it was "too late" to do anything. Because the cost of healthcare is so high many people will tend to wait until their symptoms worsen before coming to get it checked out.
In most cases, whenever the term "Universal Healthcare" is mentioned people tend to associate it as a socialist ideal that cannot and should not be achieved. However, this is not always the case. As I previously stated, one third of young Americans, and one sixth of the overall population, do not have insurance, making them uninsured. A prominent argument against universal health care is that those who are too lazy to work will end up maintaining insurance. The fact is 80% of those uninsured are working class people whose employers are either too cheap or too poor to afford health insurance.
With science and technologic improvements in medicine, everyone should have access to healthcare. Privately owned insurance is becoming more and more out of reach for citizens. People will wait until it is almost "too late," which only means more critical care and higher health bills. and this is just one reason why a universal health care system would benefit many people in the United States.
