Accessibility to free, or universal, health care benefits people, the world, and the economy. Universal healthcare means that all people are provided with medical care, such as doctor visits or prescriptions, for free, paid for by everyone's taxes. In the United States, insurance and drug prices have grown, and continue to grow, at exponential rates. We must combat this increase through the installation of universal healthcare. To achieve this goal, we must make our voices heard through online petitions, brand-name drug boycotts, letters and petitions to elected leaders, and more. Together, we can reap the benefits of universal healthcare that all developed countries enjoy. There are different types of healthcare with their own pros and cons. There are four basic types of healthcare: single-payer, two-tier, insurance-mandated, and market-based. The single-payer system is one in which the government pays for all health care costs, such as doctor visits and prescription medications. This means that all people have access to free healthcare paid for by taxes. But one of the main problems with the single-payer system is the long waiting lines caused by people going to hospital for simple things. Additionally, if you have a minor or minor injury, you will be placed at the back of the waiting line, as people with more serious injuries are given priority. This system is sometimes called the National Health Insurance (Reid) model. The second type of healthcare is the insurance mandate, which the United States is implementing now, popularly called Obamacare. Makes insurance mandatory with a financial penalty. If you don't have insurance, you can apply for basic government health insurance, which in the United States is Medicare/Medicaid. This is somewhat effective and a…paper solution…possible: it just delays the problem. America must lead again: this time in healthcare. But we, the people, must urge this action. We can do small things like buying a set of generic or brand name medicines, two big things like peaceful demonstrations. Whatever we do, we must do it now. I invite all of you to fight for universal healthcare. Every person has the right and every person matters. Works Cited Reid, TR. "Health systems: the four basic models". .
