Universal Health Care System and the United States
Universal health care systems are undoubtedly very beneficial in letting us attain quality health care and the preservation of life at the most. Quality health care is achieved through undergoing equally sophisticated procedures and medications when being struck by illnesses and diseases. Universal health care systems are provided by a country’s government in response to the continuing and ever growing needs of people for medical support. Not all people can afford the high costs of medical expenses especially for those in the lower class of living. In almost all countries of Europe and Asia, universal health care systems are implemented by their respective governments and these systems have proven efficiency in providing quality health care.
On the other hand, as these countries continue to disseminate the benefits of quality health care to their people, the United States of America does not have such a system at the moment. The primary cause of not having such a necessary system is the U.S. government’s reason of having too many health insurance companies providing medical assistance. But this issue has been brought into many arguments and debates. The primary reason is not that substantiated. The government should also consider those people who can not afford health insurances just to avail the free medical treatments as covered by specific insurance policies. However, the insurance schemes are kind of flexible to be able to coincide with the needs of people depending on their resources and income. But people are not that free to choose the schemes they would fit into. The government sets them all. The government must also set and implement deregulated marketing rules to convince insurance companies to cooperate in providing quality health care for all U.S. citizens and follow specific set of rules for a healthy business competition and not taking advantage of the premiums.
