Universal Health Care
Pros:
- People with pre-existing conditions can still get health coverage
- Medical Professionals can concentrate on healing the patient rather than on insurance procedures, malpractice liability, etc.
- More people are uninsured
Cons:
- The Gov. is more likely to pass additional restrictions or increase taxes on smoking, fast food, etc. leading to less personal freedoms.
- Loss or private practice options and possible reduced pay cause less future doctors to pursue the profession.
- Gov. controlled health care would likely lead to less patient flexibility.
US Health Care
Pros:
- Any person requesting medical attention at a hospital will get medical attention.
- The US Health Care system has one of the quickest responses to people in need of medical help (we have a short wait at hospitals compared to other countries).
- We have the ability to choose our doctors, instead of being assigned to one.
Cons:
- Doctors are paid by the quantity of their procedures, not the quality.
- Pharmaceutical companies decide the prices of their drugs, and the government can't negotiate a lower price.
- Health Care providers are for-profit, and are for the denial of claims in order to make money.
