Dear Mr President Elect: Universal Health Care Day
A letter to president/Donald John Trump/president-elect regarding our health…
Dear Mr. Trump,
The United Nations urges us to “Write to government officials encouraging them to push for universal health coverage”, but I am certain that this is what you are already hiding in your “Concept” of Health Care for your fellow Americans. Well thank you Mr. president/president elect, your just like us, you get sick too.
Every year December 12th marks International Universal Health Coverage Day as a way to urge countries to accelerate progress toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The day also seeks to promote the idea that access to affordable quality health care is a human right.
Out of 33 developed countries, only the United States is without universal health coverage. In 2010, President Obama passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This, however, is not considered universal health care. Some of the advantages of universal health coverage include:
- Lowers the overall cost of health care
- Lowers administrative costs
- Standardizes services
- Prevents future social costs
There are some disadvantages as well. These include some wait times for some medical services, congress having to spend money on the American citizens, and all of us being treated as equals. However your ‘Concept of a Health Care Plan’ better than ‘Obama Care’ (which you said last week you “Saved”) will take care of all of that, for which we will be forever grateful.
Sincerely,
The Citizens of the United States of America.
P.S.
So, 32 developed countries on this planet can do it, you can’t can’t you?
