Health care costs in the united states are on the rise. some people say that a universal health care system would bring costs down and increase access to care. others say it would be too expensive and would reduce the quality of care. examine editorials from both sides of the argument. then, write a five-paragraph essay in which you compare and contrast each argument in terms of objectivity and the types of evidence presented. evaluate and explain how the sources use effective evidence to support their claims.

answer:

for now, at least, the health-care fight in the us is over. the senate bill replacing president barack obama’s affordable care act has collapsed after two more republican senators withdrew their support, leaving the ruling party without a majority. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is proposing to repeal obamacare entirely, with a two-year delay so his party can negotiate a new bill, but several republicans oppose that too.

that leaves the us with obamacare, whose signal achievement was to cut by 20 million (pdf) the number of americans without health insurance; the republican plan would have entirely reversed those gains. but obamacare still leaves nearly 30 million people not covered and, as republicans complain, burdens middle-class americans with higher insurance premiums and the government with higher subsidies.

so why does the us, the only industrialized nation without universal health coverage, also have not only the highest health-care spending in the world—both in absolute terms and as a share of gdp—but also one of the highest levels of government spending on health care per person? and how did it come to be this way?

the answer is that the lack of universal coverage and high costs are intimately linked—both economically and historically.

single-payer health-care (in which the government pays for universal coverage, typically through taxes) keep costs down for two reasons: it means that the government can regulate and negotiate the price of drugs and medical services, and it eliminates the need for a vast private health-insurance bureaucracy.

currently, the us spends two to three times as much per capita on health care as most industrialized countries.
