Should health care be universal?
No. I think US Citizens should work and contribute to the program to receive health insurance except If they are a child or elderly or handicap. At the same time, yes, it should be universal for those indigents and poor people that need help to survive until they can get on their feet. This method of helping the people that can not afford health insurance may be a good idea if when they can help themselves at a later time, they can contribute into a health plan of there choice and pay their taxes to help the government continue to provide medical needs.
Does everyone have a right to medical care regardless of income or employment?
In my opinion, everyone has a right to medical care regardless of income or employment because not everyone could obtain a job due to there disability or other problems so they can contribute into the health care and have health insurance but because of no fault of their own with their disability, they cannot work to contribute for health care. As humans, we all are important, and the government should treat all in The US as equal.
“The U.S. Constitution does not guarantee the right to health care services, unlike the constitutions of more than half of the world’s nations. Furthermore, the United States had the second-lowest rate of health care coverage (Links to an external site.) among industrialized nations in 2015.
