Ch 19 - National Health Insurance

Should the United States develop a national health insurance program? Explain why or why not.

  1. I do not think that the US should develope a national health insurance program. I think that our country is too large for that. I think that we would need a more regionally based program if any. Overall, I like the privatization of insurance. But healthcare in its entirety is too expensive. People can't afford insurance, because it's too expensive and insurance can't lower its costs due to medical bills being so high.

  3. While it is true the U.S. is larger in population than other countries with national healthcare insurance, for instance countries such as Canada which according to usnews.com is filled with 32,286,378 to America's 322,767,018 people. I still believe that if it is what the people truly wanted, we could successfully accomplish a universal healthcare program. But most Americans are installed with a dislike of the program which will take time to change in even the slightest.

  4. I agree with Allie in that the US should not develop the program on the basis of privatized health insurance because instead of the broad and basic protections given by the government you could get a wide variety of protections for only a small amount of money more than what you would be paying to the government.
