Universal Healthcare

The prospect of universal health care has been a topic of debate among politicians for quite some time now and if done right this system would be very beneficial to American citizens as a whole. Obama is universal health care in his presidential campaign whereas McCain is not only not in support of it but doesn't seem to have any better ideas as to how to deal with the lack of good medical care in America, that or he doesn't find it to be an important issue. I feel that health care should be one of the top concerns to politicians and the government and our money should definitely not being going to places such as Iraq to fund a war that doesn't have any reason for existing when it could be going to help Americans receive better health care. Taking funds and military out of Iraq would not only leave more money to fun health care but it would also result in less war injuries which would require medical care.

Many are concerned that issuing universal health care would mean poor health care for citizens who otherwise would have been able to afford better. If the system is done right then this shouldn't be an issue and if it were to become an issue there could possibly be some sort of system which allows people to pay more to get better health care. This way at least everyone would have some health care even if it's not all equal which is better than we can say about the current circumstances.

Extending health care to all citizens would stimulate the economy by creating a healthier population capable of being much more productive and able to give back to the community. America is ranked among the highest compared to other countries for many different aspects of government and populations so the very low standard for medical care in our country is outrageous and in need of some serious change.
