The current burden laden on the average citizen to come up
with money for health insurance premiums, out-of-pocket costs, prescriptions
and copayments is ridiculous. It has become a hardship to simply afford to go
to the doctor’s office for a check-up, let alone having to deal with the high
costs of hospital visits and dealing with chronic conditions.
A second advantage to a government run health care plan involves the regulation
of insurance companies. Health insurance companies’ over-charge consumers deny
coverage for chronic conditions and medical testing, hike up premiums and
reject consumers due to pre-existing medical conditions. Government regulated
health insurance would force insurance companies to be accountable for these
infractions, alone with guaranteeing health care to everyone, especially
children and those with pre-existing conditions.
A third benefit of government health care is eliminating the need for
competition, because there would be just one health care administration. This
abolishes processing multiple claims, dispensing insurance forms, negotiating
contracts and weeding through the sea of insurance regulations. This allows
doctors and medical professionals ample time to actual focus on the treatment
of patients and healing rather than wasted concentration of unnecessary systems
of insurance procedure, which is all aimed at saving big businesses money
instead of the consumer.
Allowing individuals to receive guaranteed medical services should be a benefit
provided to everyone, regardless of economic standing. Under a unified health
care, more Americans would have healthcare, shrinking overall administrative
costs in the long run.
