    Informational Essay

    Mass Media & Communications

    Informational Research Essay

    A very controversial but vitaly important topic that focuses on the strive and benefit of

    the health of a nation is the Universal healthcare system. The real question is, “Is universal

    healthcare the way to go?” That answer is for many to answer. Although the main goal is to

    support people in one’s country and offer safe healthcare.

    What is universal healthcare and what are the positives and negatives of it? The main

    goal of universal healthcare is to offer health coverage to all citizens in a country or nation.

    There are 3 forms of universal healthcare and are known as Private Insurance. Private insurance

    is known as the type of healthcare that is the most costly for the people to pay. Another example

    is Socialized Medicine, this takes the form to be known as were the hospitals are privately owned

    by the government. Lastly the Single Payer System is where nurses and doctors own their private

    business and run it for services. As stated by the World Health Association “It includes the full

    range of essential healthcare services, from healthcare prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and

    palliative care”(The World Health Association). These are the three main examples of commonly

    used universal healthcare systems. But what are the positives and negatives of the use of these

    systems?

    Some positives to universal healthcare are mentioned In The Balance “The federal

    government offers it to everyone regardless of their ability to pay”(Amadeo). This means the

    people have lower healthcare costs to pay when paying their bill after their treatment. Also
    Dressnandt 2

    heavily sedated in Thales “Life expectancy covers many aspects (from genetics to hygiene,

    lifestyle, crime rate) but can also be correlated with health and easy access to

    healthcare”(Thales). When stating this, this opens up many opritinited for people to have

    emergency access anywhere with the same costs everywhere. This correlates with hardly any

    financial hardship since the government pays for it via taxes. Although there are still some

    negatives to the use of universal healthcare. As explained in the article Thales, “Healthier people

    pay for those in need of healthcare, and treatment is undoubtedly a question of

    governance”(Thales). Meaning people have to pay money to pay for those in need at their

    expense. This may seem unfair, to add to it all it creates the worker medical careers less

    fulfilling. By this happening, it creates the fear of the quality of care decreasing. This can be a

    detrimental factor because nurses and or doctors not wanting to go to do their job will increase

    the chance of bad patient care and service. An additnal factor to consider, is the switch from

    going from the US current system and suddenly to Universal healthcare. It could be hard on

    many areas affecting healthcare. All of these facotrs play a huge role in the use of Universal

    Healthcare. There are many examples of places that use universal healthcare such as Italy,

    Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Brazil, ect. Again the main question is whether we switch to

    universal healthcare?
