There is one subject that is definitely open for debate: Universal health care. There is no reason why health care should not be free for all.
There are many things that are done for profit. There is no question that people need money to buy things. But health care should not be one of them. Think about this: If money is to be made from people’s health, isn’t it good business for people to be unhealthy? Since make an unhealthy person healthy costs money, shouldn’t they deny the coverage just because it’s costing them money? If you take the money out of the equation, then doctors would be giving people health care because it is the right thing to do. But our country and government does not work like that. They figure if there is money to be made from it, they will keep doing it that way.
I’m not saying that having health care that is run by the insurance companies is a bad thing. The reason the insurance is there to begin with is to offset the high cost of health care. But to make them in total control of whether you get coverage or not is wrong. It should be for everyone, regardless of their situation.
