Should Universal Healthcare be available to all regardless of their ability to pay in the same way that other services (such as education) are available to all for free?

I will start this argument by defining Universal Healthcare. Universal Healthcare (which is also known as Universal Health Coverage) means that all are provided with health coverage no matter their gender, race, household income, age, or preexisting issues.

Premise 1. Health care is a basic need for all humans. Healthcare should be available to all people from the wealthy to the ones on welfare. It will give all citizens a chance for health care coverage that they deserve without the worry of financial hardship. It would also help improve the general health of the population, and lead to reduction in the amount of illness that occurs in the general public.

Premise 2. One reason I don’t think we should have Universal Healthcare is because of the risk of tax increases to all Americans. Universal Healthcare is not free as one may have put it. It is paid with tax payer’s money, or some small premiums paid out of pocket. Another issue with it is longer wait times for a doctor.

Conclusion. Universal Healthcare has plenty of advantages and disadvantages. Health care cost can be decreased and controlled no matter what the illness is. It can be longer wait times just to get services that you need, and increased taxes.
