Healthcare in America is complicated. This article is complicated. I read it through about 3 times and agree on some statements, but I am still confused by others. “Health for all is obviously desirable: as are many other impossible things”(1). I agree! “Even health care is not a right, though it is obviously desirable that everyone should have access to it, for the simple reason that it is better to prevent or relieve suffering than not to do so”(2). The right to healthcare does not give someone the green light to violate others’ rights by MAKING them give you healthcare. I have a right to my healthcare, but by no means do I have a right to make you pay for mine or vice versa. In my opinion, I do not agree with universal healthcare. Hospitals would be overwhelmed with patients and would not regulate the distribution of medicine correctly. I did more research and found that “Anyone who is part of a universal health care may have an extremely long wait when needing a treatment”(3).
