The Pros And Cons Of Universal Healthcare

450 Words2 Pages

The author of “ColoradoCare: [sci] Universal healthcare plan has democrats divided” is Josiah Hesse on Friday, May 20, 2016. The article “ColoradoCare” [sci] is slanted towards the supporting side of universal healthcare. The author only mentions democrats by name and hardly says anything about the republicans. However, you can also tell that the article is bias in the sense that he only talks about all of the politicians who are against the universal healthcare. The author of this article is just trying to make everyone that doesn’t support ColoradoCare [sci] look bad. The article could have been a little better as in terms of word choice. The article is really just trying to make your decisions for you. They are essentially just shoving it down our throats. The article is informing you about …show more content…

He successfully does this by giving you statistics instead of just summarizing what would happen if ColoradoCare [sci] passed. The article is slanted towards voting yes on Colorado care. You can tell this by the way the author only mentions people who support universal health care. The author gives you statistics and actual statements from interviews. No I don't agree with the author because from what I understand he is for Colorado care and I am against it because I know that it would skyrocket taxes. The author wrapped up the article with a satisfactory ending. He made a valid point saying, just because politicians vote no doesn't mean that it won't pass. I thought the author wrapped it up nicely. My overall response to the article is that there is an overwhelming bias for voting yes. I found that the author was informative but once again bias. There wasn't really a thesis statement, but his overall thesis is that you should vote for ColoradoCare [sci]. All in all the author could have stated his thesis. If he had the article would have been a little bit

  • Argumentative Essay: Is Universal Healthcare Good For America?

    693 Words  | 3 Pages

    The nature of the current debate surrounding the implementation of universal healthcare in America is troubling because it is comprised almost entirely of pragmatic arguments void of concern for the principles behind the project. Before one asks how much a thing will cost, how it will be organized, or whether “the uninsured” will benefit, one should ask whether enacting universal healthcare is in keeping with the values and principles of the American experiment. In other words, is universal healthcare good for America? Universal healthcare is not good for America.

    Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or ‘Obamacare’ was the expansion of Medicaid program across the states. Charles Barrilleaux and Carlisle Rainey look at why state government have opted out of the Medicaid expansion. They find that Obama’s 2012 vote share and the governor’s partisanship better explains the disapproval to Medicaid expansion, rather than measures of need, such as life expectancy or the number of people that are uninsured. Charles Barrilleaux and Carlisle Rainey find that a Republican governor is a higher percentage point more likely to oppose the expansion than Democratic governors. Whereas, the results show that the percentage uninsured in the state to have a small positive effect on the probability of opposition.

    Health care should not be considered a political argument in America; it is a matter of basic human rights. Something that many people seem to forget is that the US is the only industrialized western nation that lacks a universal health care system. The National Health Care Disparities Report, as well as author and health care worker Nicholas Conley and Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), strongly suggest that the US needs a universal health care system. The most secure solution for many problems in America, such as wasted spending on a flawed non-universal health care system and 46.8 million Americans being uninsured, is to organize a national health care program in the US that covers all citizens for medical necessities.
