RE: Sect. 1 Week 14 DQ 12: Justice and access to health care
COLLAPSE
This is a difficult decision. I personally side most with the Libertarian stance in regards to health care. From a personal standpoint, I've been without insurance (because I couldn't afford private health care while working in jobs without health benefits). In regards to universal health care, I have family in Canada and from what I've seen and heard by the way my family has been cared for, it is a flawed system.
I side most with Libertarian views, as I see health care as a benefit and something to be earned. I love the idea of giving and providing health care to all, but what is the cost? There is no denying that some people desperately require health care and as a community we should strive to enable the needy to receive, but I do not think society should be required to pay for another's health treatment. I view it as unjust to penalize the members of society earning health care through their own resources by excessive taxation. I think health care should be accessible to all, but payment should remain a personal responsibility, due from the patient. Vaughn touches on the libertarian view pertaining to finances and the use of money to be decided by the holder of finances. Individuals should be able to use their money and resources however they decide and this right would be infringed by excessive taxation to provide universal health care.
Explanation / Answer
The present health care system is a defective system. The healthcare should be accessible to all, but not at the cost of others. Individuals should earn their healthcare instead of being burdened by heavy taxation for an universal healthcare system. Individuals should have the right to decide for their money and health care than the state taxing them for that.
