disadvantages and advantages of universal healthcare.[781]

Money has always been a controversial topic when it comes to every aspect of life, and

healthcare

is not excluded.

themselves. From my perspective, I am more convinced of the latter opinion. In what follows, both views will be discussed and I will give relevant evidence to substantiate my stance. On the one hand, it is argued by some that

have difficulty gaining proper treatment.

As a result

, the idea of free medical services seems to provide humans, especially underprivileged ones, with more opportunities to overcome their illnesses.

Furthermore

, medical bankruptcy could be prevented if a universal

policy is established. What I mean is that many individuals have to file for bankruptcy since they

Therefore

could rule out, or at least minimize the considerable

of medical treatment.

On the other hand

, I myself believe that universal

healthcare

causes more problems rather than helps solve the existing ones. First of all, free medical treatment would raise

costs

for the federal government and, in turn, taxpayers. To illustrate, the government’s budget is limited and it could not cover all expenses from medical care.

As a consequence

, the authorities would have to establish new financing mechanisms

such

as introducing new taxes or issuing debt to maintain their budget, which unfortunately have no difference from paying medical

costs

at all.

Secondly

, free

healthcare

may create inaquedacy to meet increased demand from patients. In fact, when

people

have to pay for their medicine, the demand is controlled which guarantees the supply of doctors and equipment.

In contrast

, a single-payer system would result in an unprecedented disparity between demand and supply, resulting in

of bribery or corruption as well. In conclusion,

while

universal medicine might have certain positive impacts on humankind, it still lacks the ability to overshadow the problems it may cause.

Although

it sounds ideal when

do not have to pay for their treatments, I think practicality should be taken into consideration first.
