Healthcare

It is impossible to have high-quality healthcare without paying high healthcare costs. Free healthcare will inevitably mean a sacrifice in quality.

COVID-19 has put U.S. citizens out of work who depend on regular paychecks to get by. President Trump also anticipated the damage the pandemic would do on businesses, keeping out-of-work customers from using their services. The president issued a $1200 stimulus check in April and business have already seen significant improvement despite the pandemic.

Under a taxpayer-funded health system, the healthiest foot the bill for the unhealthiest.

Free healthcare isn't necessary when most people can already afford to pay for their healthcare.

When people aren't paying for something from their own pocket, they are more inclined to abuse it and take it for granted.

Poorer segments of the population tend to suffer from more lifestyle-induced health complications. In a for-profit system, this increases inequality.

A nation should take actions that save the most lives and protect the most people. Free healthcare saves lives and protects people.

Good health is a basic essential for human survival. It is a basic human right and should, therefore, be free to all.

If medical professionals can charge consumers directly it creates the perfect conditions for exploitation.

First-world countries with universal centralized or 2-tier healthcare tend to spend less money Per Capita and achieve better personal care, lower infant mortality and longer lifespans than those with just private healthcare.

The full coverage provided by free health care is essential to reduce the propagation rate of viral diseases

In societies where healthcare is provided for free, workers are more productive.

Most developed countries provide free healthcare to their citizens. Free healthcare has been proven to work based on several metrics such as treatment costs, average hospital stay, and readmission rates.

If additional funding is not put into protecting citizens from the coronavirus, the economy is doomed.

President Trump has left the United States with very little guidance when it comes to COVID-19. He assures the population that the virus will disappear on its own and questions whether a vaccine is entirely necessary. This misinformation confuses the public, seeing as medical professionals’ advice is inconsistent with his own. They claim the virus is far more lethal than President Trump believes.

Both the Obama and Trump administrations saw the need for reorganization of the expansive National Security Council. However, President Trump’s condensing of the directorates led to negligence and prioritization of issues other than COVID-19. With a smaller task force, President Trump finds it easier to take control over public communication about the virus, even if dismissive of medical advice.

In the United States, healthcare is a privilege of the wealthy. It is not a right. This has exacerbated the devastating effects of the Coronavirus, especially as millions of Americans lose their jobs.

The lack of free healthcare in the United States made the Coronavirus pandemic much worse than it would have otherwise been. Countries with free healthcare for their citizens have dealt with Covid-19 better.

Humans would be living without taking care of their health since complementary health services are always available. Therefore, the awareness of being active in living healthily may be taken away.

Under a health system that is free at the point of use, there is no financial incentive to make good health choices. It runs the risk of people seeking out danger because they will be taken care of it anything goes wrong.
