HED 201 GCCD Right to Healthcare Discussion

 

Step 1: Right to Universal Health Care debate 2021

The Argument:

Should All Americans Be Entitled (have the right) to Universal Health Care?

“Proponents of the right to health care say that no one in the richest nation on earth should go without health care. They argue that a right to health care would stop medical bankruptcies, improve public health, reduce overall health care spending, help small businesses, and that health care should be an essential government service.” (pro/con.org)

“Opponents argue that a right to health care amounts to socialism and that it should be an individual’s responsibility, not the government’s role, to secure health care. They say that government provision of health care would decrease the quality and availability of health care, and would lead to larger government debt and deficits.” (pro/con.org)
