Abstract

A basic standard of health care for all American citizens is an idea that arose less than 100 years ago, but which today is a tenet that most people in the United states believe. Basic healthcare belongs, in my opinion, to the whole world simply due to them being "world citizens", though this notion is beyond the scope of this simple essay. We have come to believe in the US that people that need health care and pay taxes receive said care and medical services. However, exposés like Mama Might Be Better off Dead: the Failure of Health Care in Urban America (University Press Books) show that for millions of Americans living at or near the poverty line, slipping through the cracks in government-funded health care is an everyday reality. These people represent the subset of America that stands the most to gain from more government involvement in health care and stands the most to lose if the government deregulates the health-care industry and personal health practices. For the majority of US citizens, state-mandated vaccinations, food additive restrictions, mental health evaluation and rehabilitation and HIV/AIDS testing and treatment supervision represent no significant infringement upon rights.
