The article, “Young Adults Seeking Medical Care: Do Race and Ethnicity matter?” by Barbara Bloom and Robin Cohen (2011) does not provide a fair assessment regarding…

topic of controversy. It is the most significant reform to the U.S health care system since Medicaid and Medicare. Some view it as a great and some believe it will be bad for the economy. I believe the Affordable Care Act will be great and its benefit to the well-being of citizens and will go further to be a great reform over all.

Universal healthcare is a fundamental right no citizen should be denied. As citizens residing in the United States we should be able to have easy access to receive the proper medical care and attention we need, when needed.

After discussing this, it has become clear that we need help and can learn from other countries.
