Sick Around The World Analysis

In “Sick Around the World” examined multiple countries with different versions of universal healthcare, and it also talked about how sick our own system is. As much as we don’t want to increase taxes we have to take a deep breath and dive in and pay more taxes and getting universal care for everyone in the United States.

Yes this would mean increasing taxes to be able to pay it, but the government is already involved in this healthcare system we have. We might as well move towards universal care with the government being charge of it, because we are half way
