Many Americans, especially those who align with the right-wing, oppose Obamacare for instilling a universal healthcare (The Republican Party has tried to repeal Obamacare more than 50 times).

Though Obamacare has fixed some of the issues that America has with its healthcare system, America is still overspending on healthcare by an insane amount. The…

governments in majority of the countries. If that is the case why not treat healthcare the same? Both are essential for well-being of a society and a country. Therefore, universal coverage is a matter of moral importance out of respect for human dignity. No one should avoid seeking healthcare for fear of financial or other consequences. Universal healthcare should be number one priority, so that the population is assured there is a place to go if one gets sick.…

In regards to health care in the United States, there is an immense area of ambiguous arguments and principles. There is not necessarily a right and wrong, or a “black and white” solution to the majority of health care aspects.
