Achieving universal healthcare in the United States is an ambitious but essential goal for ensuring equitable access to healthcare services for all citizens. Comprehensive healthcare reform legislation would need to be drafted and enacted, focusing on expanding coverage to include every individual regardless of their socioeconomic status which is where this petition comes into play. My vision is that we could build upon existing programs like Medicare and Medicaid, or implementing a single-payer system to streamline administration and reduce costs. Public education campaigns would also be necessary to inform citizens about their rights and responsibilities under the new system.
Reason
This claim is important to me because I've seen so many people struggle to be able to afford healthcare when that shouldn't be the case. Action must be taken now because if we can get the attention of Congress, we might be able to enact real change. It is about time we improve the health and well-being of all Americans.

Opposing universal healthcare in the US is essential due to potential drawbacks, including increased taxes. Government-run systems often become inefficient and could lower care quality. Hidden costs and overuse of services are major concerns. Moreover, such systems may lead to rationing, long wait times, and reduced access to care. Instead, focusing on cost control measures like tort reform and promoting competition among physicians would be more effective and sustainable.

As a healthcare professional with experience in both pre-hospital emergency settings and hospital environments, I believe that the absence of universal healthcare access for Americans has detrimental effects on societal cohesion and individual health. The resulting harm to families and patients, as well as the excessive costs incurred by society, create significant challenges.

The system is much needed in our society
