Should There Be A Universal Health Care Program?

By Rey Vetangelo


With all of the political swirling and haze that has surrounded and obscured the approaching governmentally mandated healthcare reform, it can be difficult for many Americans to understand what changes to their healthcare are coming down the line. While there are many changes set to come into motion over the next few years concerning healthcare in the United States, one of the most important changes that will potentially affect many individuals is the change that deals with pre-existing conditions and struggles to get healthcare insurance.

This is the first major problem. Your joints and muscles need to be exercised and need to be stimulated. Also your blood needs to pump throughout your body and exercise can help that. There is no doubt that people that are more active have better health.

One of the first changes to the healthcare system that individuals and families need to be aware of and need to understand what they must do to prepare for the future is getting on to a family health insurance plan that will allow them coverage even with pre-existing conditions.

The difference in these two words highlights a major argument going on in government today. Should the rights of one individual infringe on the freedoms of another?

For instance should a company be forced to pay health insurance for a particular employee just because that employee works a certain amount of hours? Not only does this limit the amount of hours that employers can work employees it also strains their budget for any one they do have to pay insurance for.

The issue could be that while treating affordable health insurance as we do car insurance, meaning that we require all citizens to have it, that we lose some of our inherent freedoms. And unlike car insurance there shouldn't be risk placed on other individuals so that makes that argument less valid.

The new implementations to the healthcare system that will allow for individuals with pre-existing conditions to gain coverage from insurance providers will begin around the first of the year in 2014. In fact, the current projection and set date for the implementation of coverage to those with pre-existing conditions is January 1, 2014.

This can be an opportunity to gather your thoughts or just to relax a little bit and loosen your muscles up. It is good to take a look outside if you can or to even go on a stroll outside if you have the time. This will give you a little bit of fresh air to keep you going for the rest of the day.

There are exceptions to this rule, however; one exception to be exact. The one exception that could stop a person with a pre-existing condition the specific insurance coverage options they need for their healthcare regarding their pre-existing condition is if they have a personal or individual health insurance plan.

That being said it may take time to come up with a solution that gives rights to the citizens while not destroying the business sector. This has proven to be the most difficult part for congressmen as they nail out the details with the ACA.
