Uncensored Political Debates

Article: Health care as a human right.

It is rooted in our human experience to appreciate all life on this planet, especially human life. The tragedy of losing someone to a disease can be felt everyday around the world. We have made immense progress in treating harmful diseases and illnesses that were deadly not so long ago using our advanced medical technology. Sadly, not everyone has access to these products and services since the cost of bringing these technologies to market is high. Many first world countries have made it the norm for citizens to have access to these commodities for free, yet the US is still lacking universal health care.

Most of our great advances in science are a product of our capitalist society. The promise to reap the rewards of your own labor catapulted brilliant minds into action to produce innovative and effective cures as well as powerful drugs. Interrupting this flow of innovation could yield an unintended and undesirable outcome for everyone.

The debate rages on because there is a lack of resources to make all of these new treatments and medicine available to everyone in the US.
