Health care - A right or a privilege?

Health care - A right or a privilege?

Sometimes, in our day to day life we realize that the most difficult questions that we find hard to answer, are the questions raised from simple basic things. Basic things like health care.

When we talk about health care, “generally”- the demands range from person to person. There are the figures and theories that emphasize the necessity of ones need to health care and on the other side, there are the self lived tragedies which create the perception of the need of health care based on the experiences one has lived. The topic health care wasn’t heard of before, as it is in the air presently and on dissecting the problem, a lot of reasons came through it. One of which is the declination of the U.S. economy. The economy has in fact, had an adverse effect on the health care system recently, which is why majority of a problem raised are related.

Millions of Americans and over 11 million illegal entrants working in the United States have no form of health care coverage and rarely an ability to pay for services provided to them when they choose to utilize the U.S. health care system. Typically these patients practice poor preventative health and wellness practices and often present with very acute and very serious medical and surgical illnesses. By law hospitals and providers have no right to refuse the non-payer treatment and in turn, billions of health care dollars are "spent" annually on care for which hospitals and providers will never be compensated. Each and every one of us pays directly and indirectly for the billions in uncompensated care. That care is paid for in taxes, in medical costs and other billings.

All people in the US have the right to health care but only one line separates the good from the ugly, which is the quantitative demand it is asked for. The general health are facilities given by the American government and they should be justified with a positive posture because that is every one’s ‘Right’ and on receiving the services with positive attributes makes the health care a ‘privilege’ to receive it.
