Description
You’ve learned a lot about healthcare policy over the term. Healthcare policy has been at the forefront of political debate for decades. Discuss and defend your opinion for which healthcare system is best for America. For this discussion, choose between free market (traditional American) or a national healthcare plan (as seen in Canada).
Respond to two or more of your colleagues’ postings in any of the following ways:
- Build on something your peer said
- Explain why and how you see things differently.
- Ask a probing or clarifying question.
- Validate an idea with your own experience.
- PEER 1
- I would still have to choose the free market that we have in the United States. The biggest con of this healthcare system is the cost torecieve this care. I still choose thefree market because it has a built in safety net for people with disabilities, the unemployed, and the low-income population. I know that free market system still has much room for improvement with the high costs of care and for insurance, but I still think it is the best choice for America. Even though it is called universal healthcare, it doesn’t mean everyone is covered with all the restrictions that come with it.
- PEER 2
- The healthcare system that I believe would be best for America is a National Health Care plan. I believe that everyone should have healthcare & should not have to wait to recieve a refferal source to see a specialist. I believe spending a bit more in taxes would benefit people to receieve opne healthcare. With the health care in the US one pays a certain amount for insurance but then still needs to pay out of pocket costs.
