regarding the health insurance. Loretta is one of them and says !ve gotten toothaches so "ad# so
that $ust literally pull my own teeth. %hey!ll "rea& off after a while# and then you $ust gra" a
hold of them# and they wor& their way out'. f she was from any other developed nation# she
couldn!t have to go through that pain. %his story of Loretta is only a case. %here are ().* million
Americans who are uninsured and facing the same &ind of pro"lems. US is the only developed
nation that doesn!t provide Universal healthcare to all the citi+ens. US spent ,2.* "illion in
healthcare in 2010 -1). of /012 more than any other country in the world in healthcare.
According to 345# US ran&ed on 67 out of 180 countries in health plan system and on 72 in
heath performance. Statistics shows that US spends more than twice as much per person than
other countries does "ut more than twenty thousand people die each year due to medical
condition which could "e treated if they could have afford to see the doctor. 4undreds of
thousands of people go "an&rupt every year "ecause of the medical "ill. %hesis sentence
%he United States is considered as one of the most developed country in the world with the
largest economy# military# democracy. 9edical facilities in US have the most advanced
technologies# medications# and services. 1eople come to see the doctors and it!s facilities from
all over the world. :ut still why we are lagging "ehind in the healthcare system; 9ost of the
pioneer and intellectual people li&e researcher# scientists# doctors# economists< policy ma&ers#
"usinessman and leaders are wor&ing to improve the healthcare system in US. So# what can "e
done to solve this pro"lem and get healthcare to all the Americans; 4ow the healthcare system in
other countries is feasi"le to the people spending less money than in US; 5ther developed
countries li&e =apan# France# taly# Spain# >anada# U? has got the universal health care. s the
implementation of Universal# comprehensive# organi+ed and pu"lic 4ealthcare system which
covers the medical necessities# doctor visit# hospital# long@term care# dental# vision and other
costs# a solution for the US healthcare;
%he limitation of current system is that many middle class people cannot afford insurance
coverage and end up not getting proper medical attention. n fact# Americans spend less money
on primary "asic needs -housing and food2 than on health care. So# why the policy ma&ers didn!t
choose the universal healthcare systemAother in US yet; 3hat does the American people thin&
a"out the Universal 4ealthcare;
Universal health care# also &nown as social health protection would cover the millions of
Americans who are currently living without any health coverage. t tries to accomplish three
goalsB provide financial ris& protection# improve access to health services# and improve health
outcomes. 3ith this system# Americans who are suffering now would have the necessary access
to health services that would then improve their overall health. A universal health care system is
desperately needed for our country. %hough it is the greatest health care system that our country
could have# it does not imply coverage for all people for everything. %he &ey point to note here is
that everything is not covered in this system.
9ost of the Americans thin& that the universal healthcare system is a socialist idea# which is
good theoretically "ut not practically. 5ne siCth of the population is uninsured now. So# what the
government is planning for the uninsured people. Americans thin& that it increases the taCes and
cost more for average people and it is not free as it is paid through taCes. %he Universal
healthcare system will lead to poor patient care and reduce doctor fleCi"ility and need to wait a
long time for treatment. So# 3hat does the Americans really thin& a"out the current and
universal healthcare system;
So# with the same cost spend on health care# if all the Americans get access to the medical
facilities# doctor!s visits and other services# why not to choose the universal healthcare system
li&e the other developed nations; 3hat does the policy ma&ers and the general people thin&
a"out changing the current healthcare system to Universal healthcare;
