Healthcare: A Right, Not a Privilege
The proposed healthcare reform envisions a gradual lowering of the eligibility age for Medicare, starting from 65 years down to 35, ultimately providing comprehensive coverage for all American citizens. This system eliminates deductibles, copayments, and premiums, making healthcare access universal and equitable. The reform could potentially lead to increased taxes, but it is projected to be less expensive overall than current private insurance costs. The U.S. spends over $4 trillion on healthcare, which is double the expenditure per person compared to any other country, revealing a system skewed towards profit for insurance and drug companies rather than effective healthcare delivery. This shift toward a Medicare-based system aims to align healthcare costs with real needs, simplifying access and improving patient care.
