America doesn’t have universal healthcare.
This topic is something America should eventually agree to adopt it in the future. So today’s blog post is about US healthcare system & why there should be universal healthcare.
Well since becoming president, Trump had tried so hard to get rid of Obamacare given a lots of GOP politicians despises Obama healthcare policy. Donald Trump failed to get rid of it (so he broke his campaign promises). However he did undermined parts of Obamacare.
Also Trump himself said in the past that he supported universal healthcare and he would introduce it. Well we knew that was not going to happen definitely. Certainly not under him given Trump & GOP politicians aren’t interested of universal free healthcare & that they were making noises about Obamacare.
How they (Trump & GOP ) hated it (Obamacare the Affordable Care Act) but offered no real solution of how to solve problems of why American healthcare is expensive (& not free) That’s how many countries has universal free healthcare including here in the UK.
The Democrats & Joe Biden should really start to think about introducing universal healthcare in the United States (as they control the White House & two Congress: the House & the Senate) even it’s not their policy. No wonder the progressives especially on the progressive wing of the Dems including Bernie Sanders & AOC (Alexandria Ocasio Cortez) are favour of Medicare for all. With Joe Biden’s first 100 days as the president of the United States, we are yet to see whether he’ll be committed to make real change to US healthcare despite he is not keen on the idea of universal healthcare (& that he prefers Obamacare). If he does back the idea of universal healthcare (which is unlikely) then that would be good thing & that can finally solve problems & putting an end to the American healthcare being expensive & not being free.
How long will the United States of America continue to not support the idea of universal healthcare & yet, American citizen (he/she) gets to pay money everytime when going to the hospital, GP/clinic or dentist out of their own pockets? Not being able to pay the medical costs while being on insurance. No wonder they had gone to countries that have universal healthcare like Canada, Europe, Britain, etc.
It is time that America end the charade regarding the shambolic healthcare system that have benefited no one. It’s a sad fact that America is not like most of the countries in the world who has universal healthcare. Even if the universal healthcare is to be introduced in America, some folks would call it “socialism” or “communism” without proper understanding of how the free universal healthcare would benefit the American people in general without the stress and the need to pay of all healthcare costs like hospital operation, doctor’s appointments, dental appointments, etc & that is why average American citizen is afraid to go to the hospital & then end up being in a tough financial situation to pay healthcare costs. Yet that is freedom? Americans living in the country that is freedom? Well it is not freedom if universal free healthcare doesn’t exist. When it comes to pay money for healthcare, it is through taxation. Not paying money to see the doctor in GP/clinic or hospital or the dentist for appointments regarding person’s healthcare. Health (particularly human’s health) is not a price tag. Healthcare should be a right in USA. Not a privilege.
So that is why there has to be change fundamentally in the States regarding how the messed up expensive US healthcare system really is.
