Americans Deserve Free Health Care

Lauren Humber PHIL110 06/17/2023

According to AARP in 2019 "3.5 million Americans age 65 and older struggled to afford their needed prescription...under 65... 1.8 million of those enrolled had problems affording their medication..."

America has the highest costing health care, however is it the best system? The United States health was compared to Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. They were ranked based on 5 qualities: 1) Quality, 2) Effieciency, 3) Access to Care, 4)Equity, and 5) The ability to lead long, healthy and productive lives. America came in last place!

More than 650 Million people worldwide who are disabled can't afford healthcare and are neglected by society!Health is a right everyone should process no matter their race, gender, age, socioeconomic standing, etc.

Some countries have free health care while Americans pay a high price for health care and medications. Healthcare is a human right, not a way to make money off citizens. Out of the whole American Population, 45 million people can't afford health insurance (Papadimos 2007). Therfore, they can't properly be cared for when sick or injured.
