I too believe that healthcare should be a right for all citizens. Health is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being (Macionis, 2015, p. 267). Preventative and acute care is important to maintain health and is needed by everyone in the world. Since the creation of the Affordable Care Act many have argued the negative repercussions of the program often neglecting the positives. The fact is, most working adults (59.5%) are offered insurance for themselves and their families at a discounted rate through their employers (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2013). Despite a 10% decline in employers that offer insurance compared to 2011, the option is still available for half of the working population (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2013). Small business owners that employ fifty or more employees are eligible to provide subsidized health insurance for their employees (HealthCare.gov, 2016). In addition, 30.1% of American's utilize either Medicaid or Medicare, a government program that aids or supplements insurance cost ("Medicare and Medicaid, Age and Income - Random Samplings," 2013) . The Affordable Care Act asks that the other 8.4% of the population purchase health care through the "marketplace" where they are able to select and tailor their health care

A right to healthcare could potentially save numerous lives. The death rate percentage has increased to almost half for those people who are uninsured. Even the richest nations should have healthcare. Although it should be the individual’s responsibility to get free healthcare; it’s just not ever going to work that way because not everyone can afford it. Which is why I say it should be the government’s role to provide it to us. Statistics show that in the five countries that do have a right to healthcare, people live two to three years longer than those in the U.S without it. The United States is wealthy nation therefore providing healthcare to the public would decrease death rates and increase the population health. Over half of the United States bankruptcies are because of simple medical costs and damages. If the United States residents were provided healthcare by the government, medical bankruptcies would dissipate because the government would be paying all the medical checks and statements.

It is important to begin with the fact that the United States has no formal healthcare system. There are five subsystems: private employer provided insurance, Medicaid for low or no income individuals, Veteran’s hospitals serve military veterans, workers compensation serves individuals that have on-the-job injuries and services for active military and dependents. There is also the Medicare system that serves individuals over the age of 65 (Williams & Torrens, 2008). Even with all these subsystems, there are still many individuals without health insurance. It is also important to realize that having health insurance coverage and having access to healthcare are two entirely different issues. An individual can have insurance but still not have access to healthcare. Of course the goal in the United States is to provide adequate healthcare access to everyone (Beedasy, 2010). This is not always possible due to different demographics such as age, socioeconomic, and other issues. I have health insurance but with the deductible extremely high many times I cannot afford to go to the doctor. For individuals that are low income, this issue is a problem. There is a gap between income low enough to qualify

The health care system in the United States is one of the greatest concerns facing Americans today and is an issue both moral and economic in nature. Some think the system should stay, for all intents and purposes, the same. They believe that the right to healthcare is a stepping stone toward socialism, and that it is the responsibility of the individual to obtain health care. These are usually the more ideologically conservative citizens and politicians who believe that medicine should remain a free enterprise, not to be constrained by government interference. Then there are those who believe that healthcare is a right, and the federal government has a responsibility to make sure it is available to all citizens, not just those who can afford

Right now, there are over forty million Americans are without healthcare coverage and millions more that are underinsured. Their families and they are struggling to afford medical care that should actually be provided to them. There are natural born rights that should be provided to all humans just because it’s morally right. Humans, being an intelligent species, should know that there are certain things that are needed to progress as a whole. Affordable healthcare coverage is one of those things that should be guaranteed to everyone. The United States is considered to be the greatest country to have ever been. A country that is supposedly home to the best hospitals and medical services does not even offer them to most of their people. Money is consistently being wasted and spent on healthcare that doesn’t even benefit the majority of the population. Health care coverage can mean life or death for a lot of people. Healthcare should be a human right; it should be affordable to everyone, regardless of how much money they make.

Everyone wants to have access to health care and in order to access it they need insurance, but unfortunately not everyone can afford health insurance. The United States spends more money on health care than any other country, but raise the cost of health insurance to the citizens. Health care should be affordable if the government is willing to spend as much money as they are on it. Health insurance should be able to affordable to all classes lower, middle, and higher. The citizens of the United States has the right to know why their insurances cost are going up and if they are going to get more bang for their buck. The reason why

Farah Ahmedi, with her prosthetic leg, undertakes a mission to cross the border and take her mother to a land free of war. Cap takes his dead friend miles across the icy land to give him his last request of being cremated. Aengus, a lovestruck man, wandered his whole life, searching for a fantasy girl he saw in the woods. All of these characters were determined to complete a goal, whether it be for love, survival, or for friendship.

The human right to health care means that everyone has the right to the highest attainable standard of medical services which also include sanitation, adequate food, decent housing, healthy working conditions, and a clean environment. It should guarantee a system of health protection. Which demonstrates why everyone has the right to health care. For example, according to Forbes, a young boy named Deandre who was 7, died of a toothache because he did not get good treatment because his health care was not good. He was on Medicaid, America’s government-run health care program for the poor, so he never received proper dental care. The story shows why the US should have better access to health care because more people can die from having poor health care and do not obtain treatment fast or great.

No parent wants to worry whether or not you’re able to afford to take their sick child to the doctors. What if they break a bone? Does your healthcare cover all of the medical bills? Most likely not. In America you must have a lot of money or a well-paying job to afford health insurance. If you’re poor you can get healthcare for free but only for a limited time. We shouldn’t have to be poor just for decent health coverage. We have a new law in America were everybody is required to have some sort of health coverage, or they must pay a huge tax fine. Does that seem fair? All it would take is for the government to sit down crunch numbers and find a working solution to our health care issues in America. Therefore health insurance should be

Healthcare is the major talkative topic that we have in our nation. Healthcare is a system is basic health needs paid by a government. There are so many questions that have been raised in the past and it’s still going on about the medical help for the common people. We have always talked about the other countries having a free health plans for their citizens, so why not the USA would offer the same. That would help the government and the normal person instead of dying. It’s a fact that the United States does not provide health care to its citizens the way the rest of the major countries around the world does but The United State does have universal health care systems, which helps

I disagree with the analogy used by Wacasey (2017) which refers to individuals paying for health care as they pay for basic needs. The foundational commodities needed for survival are water, food and shelter. Health care is not a commodity, it is a necessity. It should not have to be earned as a privilege by individuals, instead it is the right of every individual. I understand the concern over the surmounting budget deficit the government faces, but if the government can afford to protect its citizens and fit these expenses into its budget, I believe more important than protection is our health. When individuals are not given their basic rights, “they may become reluctant to engage in health care and have less ability to

Everyone gets sick, sometimes it’s as simple as a common cold, other times it’s something very serious like cancer. Treatments for any sickness can cost a lot, thankfully there is health care to help these people pay for the cost of medical bills. Many people do not have the luxury of proper healthcare. Around 38 million people do not have proper healthcare and another 44 million Americans do not have healthcare at all. Healthcare is a natural right for everyone as it states in the Declaration of Independence and the United Nations Universal Declaration. The government has the money to pay for universal healthcare for all U.S citizens, but they choose not to. Lastly other countries have free healthcare and America should too. Healthcare is a natural right for every human and the United States should follow other countries footsteps in having universal healthcare.

I have been in this world for fifteen years now and even though I’m not old enough to have healthcare insurance yet, I still firmly believe that every fellow citizen in the United States of America should know that it’s vital that they should have insurance for Health Care. Since there is the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) which requires every US citizen to carry some type of health insurance, I don’t know why families do not have health insurance. Even though I feel that every citizen in the US should have Healthcare insurance, I recognize the fact that most US citizens either cannot afford or just don’t want Health Care insurance. The problem that justifies this fact is the cost of HealthCare plans today. I cringe upon the fact

Healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health and the prevention of sickness diagnosis, and treatment of disease, illness, and injury. Because of the need for healthcare is so important, the America government had to come up with a way to make sure people have healthcare and be able to pay for it. The government came up with a healthcare system that use insurance and premiums to make sure one has coverage when they go to the hospital for healthcare needs. If the government and hospitals really care about people’s health, then why do they make insurance and premiums so high that people cannot afford them? In 2005 there was an estimate 45 million Americans that lacked health insurance, and the numbers have been climbing since (Clemmitt, Universal Coverage 1). If the government says that they care about human life, then there should just be universal coverage so everyone can get their healthcare needs met no matter if that person is poor or rich.

I could never answer the question “Is health care a right?” with a simple yes or no. I inherently believe, as Dr. Faria stated, “True natural rights are instrinsic” (Miguel Faria, 1999) and I have to question myself to ask “if we live and become ill, is it not a human right to be provided care to continue living”?
