Universal Healthcare Should Not Be Allowed Universal Healthcare in the United States of American is very expensive compared to other countries like Canada and England. Americans spend more than 50% on health care than the next countries. For America to pay for Universal Healthcare, the government will have increased taxes on our wages, Doctors would have to take a pay cut, people would overuse healthcare, and we would get less than quality care. This paper will present an argument on one side of that debate, consider objections from the other side, and will defend the position that the Universal Healthcare should not be free for the American people.
My Argument for this thesis goes as follows:
P1: Free universal healthcare will cause overuse.
P2: Universal health care will raise taxes for all.
P3: Universal healthcare will bring lower pay for doctors.
P4: Free healthcare would provide less quality treatment.
C: Therefore, Universal healthcare should not be free in our country.
This argument is a deductive argument since its intends to have the conclusion based upon the form of the reasoning used. The facts that the first and fourth premises lay out two premises on why universal health care should not be free. …show more content…
"According to a 2011 study completed in comparison to US specialist in Canada earned 30% less, and the average specialist in the United Kingdom made 50% less. Any lowering of doctor payments in the United States could reduce the number of young people entering the medical profession, leading to a shortage" (Procon 2016.com). In the USA we have the Medicare system which already pays providers 20% below what private insurances pays out to doctors ' offices. Our future generations will not want to be doctors because of low paying jobs; the generations to come debt will be too high, and they will not be able to afford to live on a physician salary and pay back their school
