American Health Care

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the difficulties of providing free health care to all Americans, while looking at health care statistics, such as infant mortality and the present high cost of American health care. The author points out that, unfortunately, the fight over free nationalized health care has become a political battle rather than a health care battle. The paper concludes that many countries, such as Canada and several European nations, who are far less economically advanced than the U.S., have created their own national health care systems. The author states that, in this great and prosperous country of the U.S., it simply makes good economic and social sense that no one should go without proper health care.

From the Paper:

"High health care costs are another problem associated with American health care. Reporter Curl continues, "Mr. Bush said competitive forces in the marketplace - primarily by giving Americans more choice - is the best method for bringing down health care costs. Another way is to give people who can't afford health care access to facilities other than emergency rooms and hospitals." However, if the government does provide other facilities, ultimately these costs will be born by the taxpayers. As a health care crisis continues among the elderly, the poor, and the uninsured, the government will continue to create more of these facilities, and costs will continue to mount."
