RE: Every Child in the US Regardless of Economic Situation Deserves Free Healthcare

in #health • 7 years ago

The right to healthcare should not be linked to the size of your wallet. I agree with most of the comments here - I find it difficult to understand why so many Americans are against it...

    So what responsibility would be linked to that right to keep it stable?

      Instead of cutting jobs in education, health etc. and making riches richer and poor poorer, every single government should ensure the wealth of the country is distributed in such a way that everyone ours have access to health and social services, education.

        Again, what responsibility would there be on the part of those using those services -- that free healthcare, social services, and education -- that would keep the whole thing stable and balanced?

          Slowly change people's mentality not to take advantage of "free" services:

          • campaigns to remind people (tobacco or alcohol type campaigns)
          • doctors to limit prescriptions to what is really needed (All people of my generation in my country grew up with antibiotics for absolutely anything). Impact of this: medication loosing effect + creating debt in budget
          • doctors to give just the right amount of medication to patients instead of the whole box if only half of it is needed. This creates a lot of waste + pollution if people do not recycle correctly
          • depending on people's revenue, maybe get them to pay ahead a small part of the appointment and medication that would be paid back within a month. This is a way to make people realize that behind the scenes there is actually a cost to having "free" healthcare. A lot of countries already do that.

          I am no economist but these are pretty basic ideas that can easily be applied. Do you need to invest money for campaigns? Of course, but like anything else if you do not invest it is difficult to see progress
