Should The United States Provide Universal Health Care For Its Citizens
Affirmative
Twenty six thousand people died in the United States in 2010 due to a lack of health care coverage. Only in Michigan there were 763 deaths. In total almost 500 people died each week all over the United States. They all had loved ones and people who cared about them and could have been saved if the United States had provided universal health care to them. This number is projected to continue to grow if universal health care is not adopted. Therefore I affirm the resolution: The United States ought to guarantee universal health care for its citizens.

Socialism can be defined as a system that treats all of its citizens as equals. A socialist system in the United States would greatly benefit the societal good. A universal health care system could be adopted with great success if only we are to follow the examples of other socialist countries like France.
Contention 1: Universal health care would extend the life of the citizens of the United States. According to a study by the “Institute of Medicine” and “Families USA”, 26,000 people died due to a lack of health insurance. These people could have been saved if only society had implemented socialism and adopted universal health care. Also they suffered in the process knowing there was no way that they could receive the proper health care.
Contention 2: One of the unalienable rights mentioned in the Constitution is the right to life. This guarantees that all citizens of the United States of America have an equal right to life which is protected by the Constitution for the people. Therefore if society does not provide universal health care then it will not protect its citizens from sources of threat to life and not fulfill this crucial
