Let's examine health care for a moment: Health is basicially one's condition as they are when disease is absent and physical and mental wellness are present. This is what we, as a society, should strive for with our citizens. The restoration of health, if need be, is desired by most.
Care, by definition, is a bit more challenging, as it requires us to have greater responsibility with greater attention to assure the well-being of others. The requirement is accepted and activated because of our concern and interest to provide the need and assistance others require to restore their health. So, because we have this establishment that exists due to the system that has evolved to manage health care, the crisis is present and has been for too long of a time. By the way, in no examination of health care is there the word profit, or gain, by others. The motives have already been stated related to health care.
Those opposed to Universal Health care argue that there will be increased wait times. A weak argument. This already exists, and I don't see how it could possibly be worse with a Universal model. Also, those opposed to the Universal paradigm consider health care not a right of citizens of the United States. This is sad, because a right is morally proper and fitting to fufill the humane treatment of others. Other countries seem to agree with this. So those opposed to a Unvesal method believe citizens are not entitled to these rights. In other words, there are those who do not wish to provide such rights.
I am not one of them.
