The debate over whether or not healthcare should be free raises a critical question: Should access to medical services be considered a human right, available to all regardless of their financial status? The pros and cons of free healthcare give an idea of whether or not it should.
Advantages of free healthcare include- Financial security, families protected from the cost of medical bills, reduced debt, and the stability and improvement of the economy.
Disadvantages of free healthcare- According to some people, universal health care for everyone in the United States promises only government inefficiency and health care that ignores the realities of the country and the free market. It also can cause increased tax rates.
While free healthcare can prevent financial ruin and increase access, it comes with challenges like higher taxes, longer wait times, and potential quality issues, making it a complicated balance.
Questions:
1.) What are your opinions on universal healthcare?
2.) Should healthcare be made free everywhere?

I think healthcare should be lowered but not completly free. If the healthcare is completely free then the docters won't be getting payed enough. If doctors don't get payed enough then doctors will want to find a new job an then there won't be anymore docters. If the prices are raised high people might not be able to afford healthcare.
I think healthcare should be lowered but not completly free. I think if it was completly free then the economy would fail and everything would fall apart. If we lowered the cost of healthcare, then more people would be able to recive it and the death rate would be lowed by people who try to get medcine without a doctor.
I agree with how you said that healthcare should be lowered and not free. I also agree with hwo you said that the economy would fail. Also, in my opinion we could lower it or just make it free to only a few people like people who don't ahve a job because they are mentally ill or are disabled. But I feel like lowering it would be better because then everyone has a chance to get it and not just a few select people.
I think that healthcare should be free everywhere but our economic system would fail because where would the money go for the doctors etc... The answer would be in our taxes, our taxes would skyrocket if we made it free. So personally when I get older I wouldnt want to pay those taxes.
If health care was free the system would fail because doctors wouldn't be paid and so all health care professionsals would have to quit to make monay another way. And I have heard people suggest that the government used taxes to pay for everyones health care and that makes it not free becuase the average American pays for other peoples health care and that doesn't make any sense.
I think healthcare should be free. I come from a country where healthcare is free so that's how it's been my whole life and I think it is very benefitial. Healthcare is a basic human right so it should be accessible to everyone.
My opinion on healthcare is that there should be a mayjor reduction on it because we still need to have money flowing in our economy otherwise we will have another depression. If it was totally free people would quit those jobs because they would make no money.
My opinion is that maybe theres a way for Healthcare to be free for everyone and that would be amazing, but at this point in time not 100% realistic because of the current state of the economy.
I agree with how you said that in this time the economy is pretty bad. I think that since our economy is pretty bad and if we added free healthcare to that it would be bad. Because if that included stuff like surgeries being free most hospitals would go out of business really fast and people will die and then our economy is kinda done for at that point
I think that universal healthcare is imporant and should concidered not being free but more affortable to thoes who more need it for more serious health reason. I think that I shouldn't just be free I think that It should definlty be more affortable to thoes to need it, but cant because it so costly.
