Health care should be universal because there shouldn’t be a price set on something as valuable as a human life.In the film it mentioned that the people who were unable to pay for their stay in the hospital were thrown out.The hospital cared more about their business than a disoriented patient.The film also mentioned Cuba and how a small resourceful country treats many people while America a high resourceful country helps little to no people.The treatment in Cuba was better and more accepting ,even giving the 9/11 volunteers the recognition that the U.S didn’t .

Health care should be available free for everyone in the United States. The current health care system is failing its citizens by creating debt for them as well as preventing them from getting the care they need. Citizens can only have health care if they have money to pay for all the expenses. Not only this but health care agencies require lots of guidelines in order to give people the care they need, which isn’t always fair to the people.

Healthcare should be available to everyone because too many people in the world are dying due to the fact that they just can’t afford it even if they are completely eligible. Plenty of other countries have free healthcare and their system even benefits their people more than necessary. If the United States had free healthcare there would be a lot more opportunities for people. It wouldn’t seem like healthcare companies were favoring people because of their financial stature.

Universal Healthcare would be amazing for everyone, and in places like in Canada & France. They have UH(Universal Healthcare) where everyone is doing fine living longer than us right now. But of course we can always improve their system to our liking and we don't have the same exact system as them. UH can change everything from how we view Hospitals and doctors. Instead of being the bad guy that can be trustworthy people that won't take are money.

I believe that universal healthcare should be available for all people in America because it’s not fair that only people with certain diseases/illnesses can get healthcare and others can’t just because of their situation. You shouldn’t have to pay for healthcare because it’s your health you need to be worries about not about the financial side of it.

If everyone had free health care nobody would worry about not having money to pay for a medical bill. If other countrys can do it why can't america? Everyone would be happy and no one has the decision whether you live or not.

I think we need universal healthcare run by the government because it is much more convenient and helps spread care through everyone in the nation. The problem with healthcare right now is that it does not always cover all of our problems, and even if it does, it ends up costing so much that we fall into an enormous pile of debt. Switching to universal healthcare will be good for both sides of the argument, for the employees and the patients, since the doctors will be paid by the government and the patients will get healthcare for free.

i think there should be health care for all because not every can afford health care and really need it. people are dying because they don't have health care and cant afford for their own medication, appointments, or surgeries. also, there are people who have been in trouble with the law and still have better service when they are sick or have problems, but us people that haven't done anything cant get good health service.

Though universal healthcare has some cons such as individual coverage being limited, I still believe the pros outweigh the cons thus making it superior than individual healthcare. With universal coverage, all individuals receive access to healthcare services, including preventative, emergency and palliative care, without it becoming a financial hardship. With this type of plan, coverage is provided by different entities.

Throughout our nation millions of people are living without healthcare and healthcare insurance. Although some may argue that without healthcare insurance the wait is shorter, the healthcare is cheaper and it feels more independent, this isn't the time to worry just about ourselves; but rather, about the millions of people and children who can't afford healthcare. Think about it, imagine your a child whose family couldn't afford independent healthcare. Whose side would you be on? Obviously not independent healthcare. Furthermore, health insurance could also help you too. Instead of having to pay 10 thousand dollars for a surgery, you would only have to pay three thousand dollars in deductibles and the insurance company would pay for the rest. So all in all, healthcare for all is the way to go.

Health care should be available to everyone because the lives of people should matter more than making money. And anyways profit can't be available without people and when people die profits die.

Health care should be free and universal because it’s unfair to have a “price”on our body. Everyone should be able to be have a healthy life and should not be worrying about something we don’t have control of.

I think there should be free healthcare because even if the tools were made for profit, we shouldn’t take advantage of the less fortunate. Instead, we should help them get better. We never know if we can be in this situation and will also need help.

Healthcare is a subjective topic to talk about. Everybody has their own opinion and although I’m arguing for universal healthcare, independent healthcare is something also to consider. However, our current health insurance rejects people are too obese or too slim. If you have certain disorders or diseases you will automatically be rejected to get health insurance. There’s also people that are hired by health insurance companies to find any little mistake in a persons application to deny them health insurance. Lobbyists buy politicians to benefit health insurance companies.

The French, British, and Canada live longer than Americans because of the healthcare system that they have. It’s ironic that Americans go to places like Cuba and Canada to get healthcare because it takes a while for people to get to medical attention here.

I believe that health care should be universal because every individual in a country has to be healthy in order to be economically efficient. Also it is inhumane and unethical for people with serious illness to be rejected care due to status. Health care should be a right, not an expensive burden.

By allowing a system of healthcare that is universal where everyone can receive medical attention, more people will be allowed to live healthier lives and be able to find cures for their conditions much easier and more affordable than they would in a private sector where everything must come out of your pocket or an insurance company has to choose to want to help you. Private sectors wont do anything but keep raising their prices and requirements for insurance up allowing for financial crisis to be inevitable

I do believe that doctors are able to provide excellent service but if it’s not accessible or affordable it can be difficult to be put in practice. Like the documentary argued, universal healthcare shouldn’t be an argument between left and right but a simple basic necessity. The purpose of healthcare should be to take care of our people not to gain profit. John Stossel argued that government officials from all over the world have traveled to the U.S in order to get medical procedures but that’s because they have the money to afford it unlike most of the lower and middle class in America.

I think that healthcare should be available for everyone because even though you don’t get to choose for yourself it helps you more financially.

I think that their should be healthcare for all because not everyone can afford to break their pockets for their medical needs. The government should be more open minded about the less fortunate because they’re humans too and have needs. Therefore, health care should be for everyone.

I think that people should have health care because it will be able to help them. But I think that health care people need to find a way to not make people go into debt when trying to pay for medicine or doctor visits. I also think they need to find a way to make the process of qualifying easier so that people can get the treatment they need. I think this would make health care better.

I believe healthcare should be for all because it would benefit the entire U.S. population by not having them worry about costs. I also believe this because no one should have to worry about how much something would cost over their health. Everyone should be able to prioritize their health before money.

Healthcare should be free and open for those in need, but those cosmetic surgeries should be an option for people, unless it’s needed to live. People in other countries are much happier, they don’t go around killing each other, they join and enjoy life. While in America we are stressed because we can’t pay our debts, healthcare is one of those contributors to our debt, if we stopped paying taxes on wars that are making us have hatred towards each other we will be able to fix our healthcare systems and many other things that we need to fix. 3rd period

I believe one should have free healthcare. With this I also believe people should watch how they spend their health care money because it is someone else’s money they are spending. One should be able to live a happy life without worries of when their last day may be. It is important to also be careful on how we take care of each other. Watching how we live our lives may also help prevent many of these deaths. We should over all be able to just live a happy life and not have to worry on when our last day may be if we ever get sick.

Angelie Cabrera 3rd pd

I support the view of universal healthcare (healthcare for all) because I believe people should have the assurance and knowing that they are “covered” when it comes to medical issues . Citizens should be provided quality treatment and the government should have an “end goal of improving healthcare outcomes”.

Private insurance companies in the United States often reject people over pre-existing conditions, which we have no control over. Even when people are covered with insurance, they could still get certain procedures, medicines, and surgeries rejected, just to save money for the company. In foreign countries like France and the UK they pay only the fraction that we do for the same medication. Some argue that wait times for these countries are much longer than ours, but in the documentary “Sicko”, we can see that regular citizens don’t wait as long as suggested by the media.

I think that health care should be free for everyone. The health care system that we have today has cost the life’s of many people. Death is a major result of not being able to afford health care insurance. People all over America suffer from bankruptcy due to health care expenses. This means that they are in lifetime debt for attempting to live a healthy life. All in all, life would be a lot better if free health care is implemented in the United States.

I believe that universal health care should be the standard in the United States in America. The reason I use the subjective word standard is because I also believe private health care should also be optional to individuals who would like it. To deny a person their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is unconstitutional. Therefore, making universal health care the standard gives individuals who cannot afford private health care the choice to live.

3rd Period

Universal healthcare is the way to go in my opinion. In the current system you are required to have money to get care. Health Care should not be so expensive that people just decide not to go because they have to choose between receiving help or going in debt.

I believe that universal healthcare is the way to go. Because of how much more it can help people financially. Because the government is paying for the people this eliminates debt caused by medical bills. And because its universal this means that anyone can take advantage of this thus making the overall people healthier and happy.

-angel Jimenez period 3

I can see both sides of the argument. Universal healthcare shouldn’t have a cost when a person life is on the line yet the cost for medicine brings competition to the companies allowing them to make better medicines for the people. I believe I side more on the universal medicine but I can see how they are both beneficial to the people.

Universal health coverage means that all people have access to the health services they need without the risk of financial hardship when paying for them. Access to health services ensures healthier people. While financial risk protection prevents people from being pushed into poverty. Therefore, universal health coverage is a critical component of sustainable development and poverty reduction, and a key element to reducing social inequities. P3

In my opinion, health care should be universal. Some people can’t take care of themselves and it’s the humane thing to help them when we can. People die every day because they can’t afford the care that they need, while insurance companies parade around stealing people’s money and denying insurance to those who need it the most. We shouldn’t put a price on someone’s life. Period.

I would prefer to have healthcare for all because people how are living in poverty don’t have enough to pay the cost. More people would be able to go check up on themselves. We would live in a healthier environment.

I believe healthcare is for all because every person should have a right to be checked out in a hospital and not denied medical assistance. Like the documentary mentioned healthcare should be about helping the people get better but people just think about the profit. Many people in America are left in debt because their insurance Refused to pay because of many reasons which leaves the poor people in debt with hospital bills. People are left in bankruptcy and nothing left because they're trying to stay healthy.

With other countries having health care for all, most of the time going to the hospital or the doctor isn’t such a worry for the reason of having healthcare. In the United States a lot of people worry about getting sick because of the amount of money they would have to pay. By paying a certain amount of money in order to have health care for all, it would be more easier and less stressful than paying an amount you wouldn’t be able to pay.

Universal healthcare allows for inexpensive treatment. The government pays 80% of costs through income and payroll taxes. The rest is paid from copayments and people paying out-of-pocket for NHS services. It pays for all medical care, including some dental and eye care, hospice care, and some long-term care. There are some copays for drugs. Although it may remove competition and stagnate technological and service improvements, those unable to pay for treatment will at least get something in the long run.

Healthcare should be available for free for everybody in the US because we deserve the right to be able to go to the doctor debt free.We also have many people who cant afford to pay for healthcare so by making it free it would allow people in the US to be healthier. Most people who afford to pay will gain back all the money the spent on expensive healthcare.

Although a free market enterprise system is beneficial in other industries by motivating people to innovate and lower prices, it is detrimental to the health industry. Insurances should not be motivated to deny coverage to anybody simply because they are considered a financial “risk” to the insurer. Insurance companies currently disqualify people because of specific medical conditions. I believe this is unethical given that these people are in need of medical attention, yet are able to receive any. I believe that with universal healthcare individuals will be able to take care of themselves, improving the quality of life.

Living is something that shouldn’t come with a price. Just because you don’t make as much as money as dan down the street who has private insurance, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve the kidney transplant. At the end of the day, we are all made up of the same components so why should health care be an exclusive luxury ?

Healthcare should be free to all people because of the insurance companies and expensive medicine. Therefore, everyone will be allowed to get operations that they need to live rather than them not getting approved. Also, the medicine is affordable.

The main reason to why I picked this side of the argument was because it seems the fairest to me. I believe that by having free healthcare for all will encourage everyone to take care of their health. One reason to why people don’t go to the doctor is because of the actual price of it. People see the price of a procedure and it encourages them to not go to the doctor and try to deal with it at home. They may also buy antibiotics from other countries that claim are for what the person is suffering but this might be for something completely differently and affect their health.

Universal healthcare should be available to everyone since there’s many people out there who can’t afford it and are in need of it. It’s not fair that a person needs to put a price on their body just by replacing a finger can cost you thousands of dollars. When people don’t have insurance it cost things because they can’t be healthy and want to pay of their debt so they closely there house and can end up broke and poor. There’s agencies from Health Insurance that say to take advantage of what you can. countries that have made free healthcare work have bene countries with not as many resources as us so if they can make it work so can we

I think that everyone in the US should have access to healthcare. It isn’t fair that you can’t get healthcare because of your job or how much money you have. The current healthcare system is messed up because some people the government gives you healthcare but others you have to pay millions of dollars out of pocket. Even though the system is messed up and could get better, I think that universal healthcare is key for a better nation.

Healthcare needs to be available for everyone, for free. The only people that can afford the system we have now is the one percent aka the rich. Many of the people in America don’t make enough money to take care of their families and be able to pay $200 for a checkup if their child has a fever. Over 50 million Americans don’t have insurance, are we supposed to let them suffer? To not be able to take care of themselves because they cannot afford it. Many jobs people work don’t provide enough. Plus most well paying jobs require that you attend a four year college, not every family has that money, so since someone doesn’t attend college they end up not having a well paying job and that non well paying job leads to tell not having enough money to take care of themselves. Due to the lack of money people have to work and work and work until they get old and possibly once they hit their death bed because they can’t afford to take care without the income. We should have our sick and old having to push themselves farther than their bodies can handle because healthcare companies want to charge crazy rates or have people under their company’s insurance cancelled. Concluding my argument, I think that healthcare should be free for every race, religion, height, weight, anything. Everyone deserves to be healthy.

Universal healthcare is the solution to all our health related conflicts. With universal healthcare provided by the government, each & every patient is covered & does not have to worry about being in debt or not being able to pay for the care that they need.

Thousands of patients are turned down by their insurance company for pre existing diseases they didn’t even know they had. They are then left with the disease & no way to afford the treatment they need. Healthcare shouldn’t be about profit, it should be about helping those in need to keep people healthy. Free healthcare should be available to everyone.

Health care should be for everyone, no matter their age, sex or nationality. The United States is one of the most advanced countries in the world but their people can’t get simple health care for a low price, there’s something wrong with that. US citizens shouldn’t have to go to other countries to get health care, they can risk their safety and their lives because they don’t know how the healthcare system is in that country. If Canada, France, and Cuba all have free health why can’t the US? We should be able to go to the doctors without fearing if we have enough money to pay the bill after. I believe there should have free healthcare for all.

I believe that healthcare in the US should be universal. It shouldn’t be ran by the government as people with money could easily exploit the government as it currently is. If there’s a universal healthcare system implemented, it should be ran by professionals who understand the concept of medicine as well as understand its value and the economics; the impact of this system. Like this, people wouldn’t go seeking for medical attention outside of this country because they can’t afford it. We should be able to provide to our own citizens.Also, we’ll be able to have a standardized system worldwide and make it much easier to transfer patients, consistency in medicines and treatments, all that stuff.

I support healthcare for all because it might not profit the government but we can all have access to a doctor without worrying about falling in debt or having an expense. The people who will need medical support because they are sick require to take test or take medicine which is very expensive and there’s people who can’t afford it and won’t buy it and they just waste money on going to the doctor since they can’t afford the medications. When theres healthcare for all, everyone can come in and take a look at what they have even if it’s not major or not and probably we could have a higher number rate of how long we live. As when people fall in debt and they don’t have a proper job or can’t work because of the condition their health is they can loose things because they can keep paying it since they are in debt with the hospitals.

Health care should be universal due to many people suffering from health problems that can’t be treated because of the high prices for treatment.Private health companies don’t have their customers well being in mind when setting high rates and denying payment for treatment.Heath care for all provides patient’s treatment without having to choose between paying for rent or paying for pills. Healthcare should not be something only given to those with money ,but for everybody.

product care should definitely be available to everyone. I say this because people who have less financial money to stay healthy will not receive the same type of standards the rich would. Sickness is also costly, it shrinks the workforce and makes it less producrivee, which is definitely a need if we are trying to out compete the Chinese. Not to mention inexpensive infant care make healthy children, and healthy children make less costly adults.

Health care should be available for all and should be ran by the government so that it can reach all citizens. Our problem is that not everyone can access it and not many can pay medical bill on their own.

I think there should be healthcare for everyone because not many people are able to afford to pay the amount of money hospitals charge. Also I don’t think it should be free but that the amounts shouldn’t be as costly. I don’t think it should free because if it were everyone would be going, the places would be packed, and it would take months for them to offer service for someone in need at the moment.

The health insurance business is all about money. They don't care for their people they only want money. I believe there should be universal health care like Canada or France because not everyone can afford it. Btw angel is single for you girls ;)

Healthcare should be free for all. There is no reason medical bills should be a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars for stitches. There is a lot of hidden fees in medical bills and making health care free will save so many people from getting scammed or going into debt, as well as save so many lives.

I feel there should be healthcare for all because everyone deserves a chance to live. No one chooses to be poor nor do they choose to have a disease or sickness. They should have the choice to go to the doctor which is why I believe we should have healthcare for all.

Healthcare should be universal and free for everyone in the United States. First off we shouldn't put a price tag on our health in the first place, because people have to live and survive in life. We shouldn't let an insurance company come between our survival. In addition, the us is already 23 trillion dollars in debt. Doesn't look like the us is going to get out of that debt any sooner, so why can't we have the government fund our doctors, are the doctors afraid of government control.

I think there should be healthcare for every single person in the U.S. and for free. The more the population increases the more health care is needed. Therefore more many is also needed, so if healthcare for americans was free it could solve many of the problems the current american healthcare system is causing.

I believe health care for all because of those homeless people dying because they can't get health care. Also along with that we don't have to worry about prices of things we need in order to get the things we need. Lastly it allows us to be able to get free and convenient care.

With the vast amount of income generated by the insurance companies, I believe the us should cover health care as many Americans don’t have it not due to income but expense. Many Americans are scared and don’t kno what to do if there was an accident due to the huge bills generated by insurance companies. This is a negative view on insurance companies and pushes away many Americans leaving them to suffer with huge debt or not be covered for their needs. As an American I believe the us should take care of the health care.

Healthcare should be free for all. Many citizens are suffering and dying because they can not afford it. Healthcare should not be a privilege - it should be a necessity. People should not be scared to go to a hospital based on the prices. Many prefer to do home remedies instead of getting the help they need. Healthcare should be free for everybody.

I think healthcare should be provided for every single person. Why give more opportunities to those who have more money than to those who don’t have as high income ? Just because someone doesn’t earn as much money, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the same healthcare . My point is everyone should be equally given the opportunities. For instance, why is medicine and medical care in Cuba way cheaper than in America. It simply doesn’t make sense .

E, Quiroz P.7

I believe everyone should have health care for free because not everyone is in the position to pay thousands of dollars. This could effect them in their everyday life which could then cause them to get even more sick or die trying. Even though there may be a wait it should still be for everyone because some companies scam people just trying to profit instead of helping. Like, so what if they knew they were sick that’s the whole point of trying to get help to get better.

Health insurance is too expensive for many Americans especially with all of the other expenses stacking up. Having free healthcare will allow people to go to the doctors office without having to worry about how much the bill will come out to be. In times of emergency people shouldn’t have to worry about health bills, and it is important for everyone to have access to dentistry, medical, or other health needs.

Healthcare should be free for everyone because it creates a lot of debt to people who want to get checked out for a disease. And if it's free their won't be any debt. It would help people pay off a lot of hospital Bill's. It can also create opportunities to tons of people.

I believe that Healthcare should be free for everyone in the United States. In our current state of health care, people are gaining more debt than the care that they need. Also People could only have health care if they have the money to pay for the expenses. But this might be unfair for some people.

Healthcare should be made available for everyone no matter what income they have. In the Sicko documentary, there were countless of times where it was proven that the healthcare industry cares more about their own profit. For example, when they all went to Cuba a woman got medicine for CENTS while she has to pay hundreds in the U.S. In Sick in America, the man made many points about how paying for healthcare gives others motivation to make better medicine but those innovations aren’t affordable. Only people with money will have access to them. The man from Whole Foods also only cared about their healthcare because he’d lose money. - S.Mendoza P-7

I do agree that healthcare should be free for us all. There should not be a way where only those who can afford it should have it. Some people may not afford but that shouldn’t mean that they can’t have it. Healthcare should indeed be given to us all for free.

Health care should be available for everyone, because everyone should be cared for, regardless of if they can pay or not. Even when people are insured, there are times when people have to not receive care because they had some minor issue before, even if it was taken care of. Everyone should be cared for, not just certain people

Health care should be free for everyone. People shouldn’t have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to make sure they are healthy. People also shouldn’t be turned down for health insurance when they have a concerning health condition they should be able to get insurance to help them because it’s there health that on on the line at the end of the day. Without health insurance many people are left to crazy high medical bills, but if health insurance was free they wouldn’t have that problem. Denying someone’s health insurance is like denying them a happy life because without insurance people would be left with bills that they can’t pay which would put them in debt and being in debt would cause them to have to make very difficult choices for example selling their house or valuables. Lazaria leffall 7th period

I believe giving free healthcare to our people who are suffering, as well as the people who are thriving, gives us all life by making them all equal when it comes to access to healthcare. Happiness would be ensured in our people that they can walk into a healthcare facility knowing that they will be treated and not charged. With healthcare we are saving lives, lowering the number of deaths every year.- Evelyn Fraire 7th

Healthcare can get a bit complicated and be unfair to many people. The way it’s set up, insurance companies will avoid people with serious problems in order to not have as many worries. Families can be hopeful for insurance, plan a happy future, and then get denied. In a life where everyone attacks one another, the least we can do is take care of each other, as a nation. That way, we will take a powerful step forward.

Universal health care would help improve so many people’s lives. There shouldn’t be a price set on someone’s life. Everyone should have the chance of getting the medical attention they need without worrying about the money. Plenty of people from countries with UH are content with the system. Meanwhile in America there are so many people that are angry and discontent with our current system. In the film it talked about how Cuba, who has less resources than us is doing good and is able to meet everyone’s needs with UH. We have more resources, why can’t we also have successful UH? Of course we would need some improvements in the system but it can be done. Sometimes it seems like hospitals cared more about their business than actually helping patients. For example, the film mentioned hospitals would go as far as to throw out patients who couldn't afford medical fees.

I believe we should all have access to universal health care since it would benefit the health of many and reduce our mortality rate and increase of average lifespan. However there’re cons, for example people may take care of themselves less since now they have healthcare to help them. As well as long waits in order to get treated.

Health care for all is something that is a fundamental need for every citizen in the US. It provides the right to live a healthy life without worry. It would take weight off people that are drowning in debt. Free healthcare would bring life to people suffering and dying due to the price they can't pay that are labeled on healthcare plans. Happiness would be ensured in our people that they can walk into a healthcare facility knowing that they will be treated and not charged.

Healthcare should be given to everyone, because we have resources to spare, new technology, and they have enough hospitals to help all of us, but they keep it to the rich and decide who can get the treatment they need to live by their stature in society or if they don't have the money to pay for it.

Diego C. pd5

I believe everyone should have healthcare. I believe in this because anyone should be able to got to the doctor without having to pay enormous amounts of money. People should also have a right to get tested and have surgery procedures done. Pills and medicine are also unnecessarily expensive because of of companies that just want money from the sick.

Although it is true that many people will begin to act careless when it comes to money, it can all be adjusted and fixed with a few adjustments. An easy fix to this problem could be that the government provides the cheapest or “best value” options when it comes to medicines and procedures. A change like this will ensure that everyone has healthcare available. If you wish to have better and more extensive care, the government should not have to pay.

I believe we should have universal healthcare because in the eyes of the government, the faster they you healthy again, the faster you can get back to work, which means more money for the US. It’s win win situation where we benefit with free healthcare and so does our economy. People with health care that is already universal, like Canadians, can tell you that yeah it’s great to have free health care but it takes a long time to be treated. This is because they don’t have enough equipment to treat everyone. This could favor the US because we are a relatively wealthy country and we can finance more money for more equipment to help more people.

I think that healthcare even though it sometimes doesn’t do everything we need is good because it does cover at least some necessary things. I’m for healthcare because there are alot of benefits that follow it. The government also helps kids with healthcare and that’s good because kids often get sick more often.

I believe that healthcare should be free because it has great benefits that can ultimately help a person live. In the “Sicko” video it should us that the main reason health insurance is opened is because they want to help other survive, but in reality they only care about the profits they will make. This shouldn’t be the case because we stand for a strong nation that is united and is progressing everyday even more, so that should mean that we can be helping everyone have a support system. Universal health care can be beneficial to anyone whether or not they are poor or rich. I agree that we should provide health care for everyone and should be a top priority especially over profit that in the end will only go back to the government.

Health care is a helpful source to use when trying to pay for hospital bills or doctor visits. Not everyone can afford to pay medical bills and it wouldn't be fair to ask everyone to pay in full the medical bill. Because trying to keep your body healthy shouldn't have a price. We are all human and sometimes we need a little help and healthcare provides that help.

Healthcare should be free in the United States due to the high demand of citizens while fighting chronic illnesses and other complications. Not only do U.S. citizens live a couple years less than countries who do have free healthcare, Americans are consistently drowning in debt because of the persistent denials of health insurance companies and high medical bills. With this being said, if there was free healthcare in the United States I believe Americans would be better taken care of and living a more healthy, debt free lifestyle than they are currently living now.

Everyone in our community should have the opportunity to health insurance. This side of the debate seems the most fair to me simply because it allows everyone to have the opportunity to acquire health insurance without having to worry about the financial side of their health. Health is a priority to everything it shouldn’t be based on a price because some people mean not be able to pay for all the expenses. By allowing everyone to have health insurance we are preventing more deaths in society due to the individual being treated when is needed.

In my opinion I feel like health care should be free because everyone deserves health care. They shouldn’t be turned away and left to die because they don’t have health care. People don’t choose to be sick they also don’t choose to not have enough money to afford treatments. Also the money that the government is using to give free health care at the prison camp for people who have done bad thing should be used for free health care.

I believe healthcare should be provided for everyone because medicine and treatments are getting more expensive because of good technology is getting. Some people don’t have the capability to pay for some treatments and eventually die because they don’t have money to pay for it. Plus people in U.S.pay taxes and all that money goes to the government, therefor people should receive helps when requested. Many people suffer til death because the corrupted health system isn’t as helpful as they seem to be .

I see healthcare for all as a more efficient manner to take care of the common people. The toll, taxes, for it is completely reasonable, you get healthcare at any time no matter who you are by simply paying the government. Even if the taxes are a somewhat expensive I see the benefits out weighing the cons. Relying on health insurance is not reasonable, you pay for insurance that you are not guaranteed will cover the medical expences, in which you are left paying thousands of dollars for a service that no other country has to pay for.

Even though the system is messed up, I feel that it will at least help some from not going into debt fast. I think it should be for everybody and should be free for whoever. It will probably help us stay stable for a little while we try to get back up on our feet.

Healthcare should be available to everyone without having to pay. There are many families rejected of having health care because of their “high” income. Just because they supposedly earn a decent amount of money, doesn’t mean they’re rich and can pay those health care bills without being in debt. Healthcare shouldn’t be a way to profit off of people; it should be seen as a way of helping people because they’re in need. Therefore, healthcare should be accessible to anyone.

I personally think that health care does help. It may have some disadvantages but it does help when you need to go to the doctor or need some medicine. I also think that it would help a lot for parents that have a lot of kids and need to take their kids to the doctor for their yearly check up and if they have health care it helps them. And if the person has to go into surgery it may help them reduce the money to where they can afford it and be able to get the medical attention they need.

Health care should be provided to all who, people don’t deserve to suffer just cause they can’t afford it. People shouldn’t be neglected care or especially put in debt to fix them. Not everyone can afford the care, treatment or checkup they need to be sure they haven’t gotten sick. They hope to not come to be with any disease seeing as it’s always so expensive for the treatments. People deserve to be able to fight for their life’s and make it out without worrying that they’ll be in debt afterwards.

I believe that health care should be available for everyone, and for free. Health care gives people the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. So, I don’t understand why the government, who is funding insurance companies, would want to prevent that from happening just because not everyone can afford it.

Healthcare should be free for everyone. It should be free for everyone because most people cannot afford to pay for themselves or other people if they have a family. The healthcare system is corrupted and all healthcare companies want is to make profit off of the sick. The healthcare system we have denies people the help they need and just takes their money.

I think that healthcare should be universal, because as we saw in most of the videos, all the people with free healthcare seemed much happier than those in the U.S, even Cuba a 3rd world country seemed happier than Americans; because of the fact that, those people don’t have To pay back money to insurance companies as their healthcare is paid for by their taxes. Furthermore those who do qualify for health insurance will likely be denied for one service on another because as said by one of the broad member “we deny payment, not care” further reinforcing the fact that the companies in charge of your payment want to limit the amount of money spent on your health. In addition I think it is morally wrong for large companies to put a price tag on someone’s well being

People in the U.S should have heath care for all people.Health care should be less expensive so it fits everyone’s budget,not everyone has the money to pay extra money for heath care.It should cattier to all people.Also heath care shouldn’t be denied if a person has to many medical problems also.Lastly you shouldn’t have to leave your country just to get health care for all.

Health care for all means that you get insured so healthcare is good. Healthcare is good for people because to one point it benefits you. Healthcare is good.

Health care should be free and of access for all Americans, because we can’t continue to lose lives over things that can be prevented. I find it very peculiar and odd that third and second world countries provide universal health care and are able to provide for their citizens but, America which is such a dominant country continues to have problems providing health care for their citizens. Many Americans have served and fought for America and have lost things such as limbs or just a clear mental state and they continue to suffer on the daily bases due to America not having free health care for all. Health care company’s want what’s best for the company.... they rather make money for the company and have an American citizen die, than to help a life!

My Theory: America is very selfish about giving free health care out to people who need it due to wanting to keep control of the population. If the population becomes to big the economic development of American may deflate.

Health care should be universal because everyone should be able to get the care they need to survive. In the film the people who couldn’t afford to stay in the hospital to finish their treatment got kicked out and left in the streets, and honestly that’s a very inhuman and cold hearted thing to do. When everyone has health care everyone can gat treated and helped.

Healthcare should be universal because people don’t decide if they want to get sick or not ,it really just happens. In addition to that, people’s life shouldn’t have a price. Everyone should have the chance to get medical attention they need without having to have a debt to the point where they have to loose their homes. In the documentary it showed how hospitals cared more about money than people’s life. They were throwing people outside because they couldn’t afford to pay their health.

We should be able to have universal and somewhat free healthcare so we can be able to get better.

I strongly believe that the government should provide healthcare for all. There is no reason why we are one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but we still don’t have access to free and guaranteed healthcare. The taxes would be increased, but in the long run it would still be more affordable than the outrageous healthcare premiums that don’t even guarantee proper care. Our current healthcare system is a joke and it does nothing but help the rich and harm those who are in desperate need of care.

I support the view of Healthcare for all. I’m very well aware of all the flaws the corrupted healthcare system obtains. For me, this topic is hard to choose a side, but I’m leaning more towards Healthcare for all because even though you would have to pay a fortune, it’s better than having to do something yourself, not having the proper tools to do so. I understand many people don’t have that type of money to pay for it, but I just believe having healthcare is better than having nothing at all.

Yes I agree healthcare should be for everyone since it is meant to help out the people who are close to dying or in severe pain. No one should be suffering to see or feel the symptoms of the dieases they have. So healthcare shouldn't limit other people chances of living.

I believe that everyone in the United States should have universal healthcare. One of the biggest problems in the United States is the fact that hospital visit are expensive. People avoid going to the hospitals due to the prices. People die due to not being able to afford such expensive treatments. In the United States the healthcare costs is 1/3 higher than in other countries. People accumulate high debt due to the high prices

I think that the United States should have universal health care for everyone. I believe this because not everyone has the money to pay for their medical bills when they are in hard times. Since the US has started to care more about money and letting the insurance companies take over than the people suffering. In addition, by having universal healthcare for all it gives people who aren't able to get insurance have the chance to actually go to the doctor and not care as much if they don't have enough money to pay.

Universal Healthcare gives us the most generous and fair opportunity. The government should let all of us get free health care despite anyone’s financial stature. Today’s health program is ridiculously high that only some could afford. We should not put a price on somebody’s illness. The price of medical care should not be a choice if someone could live or die.

I believe that everyone should have healthcare. we should be a civilization where no one has to worry about getting sick or hurt and be able to get the medication they need. It could make are community much more friendly and worry free from disease or pain.

Healthcare is something I feel everyone deserves. You should be able to get proper care regardless of your economic situation. There's so many people whose medical conditions worsen due to not being able to lay for medications, examinations, or treatments. It comes to a point where you have to ask why is it okay to put a price tag on someone's health and whether you can live or die.

I think after watching people be in a scary place while other countries freely go to the doctor as they please. After looking at the corruption and how overpriced pharmaceutical products are, I think America should develop universal healthcare, even though doctors will make a little less at least people would be in better life expectancy and better life care in general.

Healthcare should be free for everyone because nobody should have to worry whether they can afford a doctor consultation or medicine. A free healthcare system works for many other countries which is proof that it could work for America. Those who want to get private healthcare can choose to do so but many people can’t afford it.

I think that universal healthcare is very important because everyone deserves to be healthy. Your economic status and/or background shouldn’t be something that contemplate whether you get healthcare or not. There are people out there who can’t afford it or don’t live in a area where it’s provided.

I believe every US citizen should have access to affordable healthcare. I think if health care was based on monthly income like EBT, we would have a higher health rate. Why should people have to die because the government don’t want to pay for medical bills? the same government that take money out of checks for taxes . There’s no reason why people should have to bury their loved ones Because of a few zeros . America has all these resources. All this money. Yet we can’t use it on what really matter. To save a life ?

I believe that we should have universal healthcare. The healthcare system has became more about money than it is to helping the people in America. We have given the insurance company the power to decide whether people get to live or die, unless you are rich of course. Most developed countries have universal healthcare except of America. When the government decides to take care of the majority of its people, instead of the top 1% of the richest, maybe then we can finally level with everyone else.

I believe that we should have universal healthcare for everyone. I do not believe that the care that person receives should come with a price tag or life/health be on the line because they can not afford the ridiculous prices for medical attention. Universal healthcare would help people with financial problems by being free just like Cuba, France, and Canada are.

I believe that health care should be free. Also, having free healthcare will benefit people who have may never been able to go to the hospital/doctor because they worry about the cost. Of course having free healthcare will raise taxes but taxes are different for different people, even people who will have free healthcare will pay taxes.

Health care should be universal for all citizens of America.So many people die yearly because they lack health care and so do people with health care.Many with health care are denied the health they so desperately need.Which makes it seem like paying for health care is useless.If America claims to have the best health care why can't everyone reap the benefits by just making it free.

We should have universal healthcare even if it means that our taxes will significantly increase because it’s better to pay high taxes( which some people without insurance still have to pay) than to not receive the help that you need because of not having insurance. Without universal healthcare many go into debt with hospital bills and have to give up most of the things they’ve worked for once they go bankrupt.

Personally I think we should have healthcare for all because of all

the things happening right now in this world . We have new sicknesses everyday that maybe we don’t know about and with that some people can’t afford it.Either if it’s because of their not so well paying job or because of their healthcare insurance. So i believe that with healthcare for all, we can take care of all the sickness and sick people without looking at the prices.

Healthcare needs to be for everything be because people are dying. We can prevent these deaths by giving people the treatment they need. Denying treatment when it clearly gives them the solution to their health issues is cruel. People are spending a lot of money for treatments that in other countries is free. Why make things harder for the sick.

Health care for all should be in the United States. It’s unfair to people that are born sick to be sidelined because of it. Life is hard already, and to make things harder by denying health care to those in need is vile. We cannot achieve a higher standards of living if we leave people in need behind. Health card for all is just humane.
