1. Universal Health
care
BY SHAISH JAMSHAID

2. Historical Importance of the Current Health
Care System
The history of American health care has been
influenced by historical, political, as well as
economic factors.
Emerged during the 1930s, hospitals began to take patients on pre-paid terms.
The American Medical Association (AMA) lobbied for and argued against this
design. The AMA advocated that services should be charged to decrease
physicians' autonomy and help leverage their earnings.
The insurance system was eventually formed.
As a result of this, many old Americans were not eligible for coverage; President
Johnson signed the bill, which became what is known as Medicare and
Medicaid.

3. What Will Universal Health Care Provide ?
Universal Health coverage would
mean that all the people would
have adequate access to any
health services.
This type of coverage will close the
gap created by the current system,
where people are struggling with
their medical bills and debts.
Universal health care would assure
that finance should not determine
one's health.

4. Why Universal
Healthcare Is a
Better Solution
than the Current
Model?
Millions of American people do not
have adequate access to basic
healthcare.
The current system indicated failure
during COVID-19, As a
consequence, the United States
suffered from the most casualties in
the world.
4 in 10 U.S. adults avoided essential
medical care during the pandemic
because it was solely a problem of
the medical cost.
The cost of care in the U.S is simply
too high.

5. Importance of
Health Care
Health care should not be
based on a business model. In
the U.S, health insurance
resembles a market.
Many countries in the
European Union and the
United Nations recognize
health as a basic human right
but the U.S does not.
If the right is recognized, the
health of the American
people will be assured in the
near future.

6. How Does
the United
States
Healthcare
Compare
to Other
High-
income
Countries?
The U.S spends the most out of all the high-income countries. (Valued at over
4 trillion dollars in 2020).
The significant spending does not help as the quality of health in the U.S
ranks poorly among the high-income countries.
The life expectancy in the U.S ranked 26th among other high-income
countries.

7. Universal Health Care Would
Provide a Better, Sufficient
Form of Care
Countries such as Japan
and Germany have uniform
health care systems.
In Japan, an average brain
MRI costs about 130 dollars
as compared to the U.S,
which is around 1400
dollars.
Other procedures are
cheaper as well, Universal
health care would aim to
provide and assist with the
best health care without
emphasizing too much on
the cost.

8. The Cons of Universal
Healthcare
Universal Healthcare is the best solution to better health care
but it is not perfect. Morally, it will question many Americans to
believe that government exercises the most control over
individuals’ health and it interferes with personal freedom.
Certain procedures such as surgeries could see elevated
procedural time as the demand would increase.
The funding compromises an Issue, federal tax would increase to
provide those services and cover the costs. This will subject high-
income earners to pay more taxes.
