Some Pros And Cons Of Universal Health Care

By Brooke Nash


Many people have been working to get universal health coverage into the United States. The model has been the Canadian or United Kingdom model. The idea of free health care is a strong inducement for this discussion at every level of one major political party. This is part of a list of the pros and cons of universal health care that needs to be looked at before actually taking over in the United States.

One of the pros will be that all people living in the United States will be on the plan. The con to this is the many people who can not afford to be included in this plan. They will have to be covered through the federal government. This will cause all other payments of taxes or insurance rates to go up to compensate for the added expense.

Many countries do have the coverage that is called universal. This does little to those who have a malady that must be dealt with after the money has run out for this type of service. Other countries allow the purchase of private insurance and this is the only way some of these procedures can be accomplished.

Having, at its core, a decision to save money is a definite pro. The con could be in the way that is done. The French board, known as N. I. C. E. Has cost many people their lives or fortunes because of the algorithms used to deny attention to many. In the United States, this has already caused a lot of good Doctors to give up their practices for lack of sufficient payment for services.

All people living in the United States, that did not have insurance before, would have coverage. This is a big pro. The lack of sufficient Doctors and other related personnel would tend to make this an empty promise to many. The inclusion of 40 to 50 million new people onto the rolls and the addition of several million each year will make this one of the cons.

The United States' entry into the universal coverage field is the Affordable Care act. This also known as ObamaCare. Costs for insurance have gone up faster than advertized and quality has begun to go down. The additional taxes on medical devices will continue to deny this type of technological advances that will put many people at risk.

To many people, the idea that something as important as health care can be accessed for free is a very big pro. To those who have read the history books and the headlines in today's newspaper, it is a con that their freedom and liberty can not abide. This list of the pros and cons of universal health care is only a small portion of those that can be counted.
