Justice is often misused in casual conversations, it is often believed to state that everyone is treated equally.

Barack Obama, in his 2007 campaign for president, said “Affordable universal health care for every single American must not be a question of whether, it must be a question of how” (Obama 1). In a country that spends the most in the world on health care, one would expect world class health care available to everybody, but that is not the case in the U.S. The need for reform has been recognized throughout the history of U.S. health care, but no major reform has ever fixed the problems, only…

Introduction The healthcare debate is ongoing, more so now than ever. At its core is a fundamental question: is healthcare a right or a privilege of the American people?

There are many different perspectives on whether or not Canada should privatize their health care system. In a situation like this, it must be taken into account what is best in the country’s eyes, and not the perspective of an individual or a single community (Uplekar 898). Quality health care is a concern for many people. In order for a health…

never has to worry about turning away a sick patient. His only focus is to treat the patient and improving their health. As a doctor, he explains how he does not deal with money at all. Compared to other countries, America should logically join this universal health care system for the sake of the health of the citizens. According to Richard Knox (2013), “It 's no news that the U.S. has lower life expectancy and higher infant mortality than most high-income countries. But a magisterial new…

is their health. Nevertheless, a resource reveals that All (2010) “despite the immense amount of resources available in the United States, more than 46 million U.S. citizens remain uninsured. The U.S. has the means and the resources to provide universal health care” (p. 1). Furthermore, there are numerous of resources that can speak towards the current state of healthcare within the United States.

Universal health care is defined as “coverage that all people have access to the health services they need (prevention, promotion, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care) without the risk of financial hardship when paying for them.” (World Health Organization, 2016), while user pay health care is owned and operated by private businesses.
