The recent experiences I have encountered with my boyfriend’s spinal cord injury have brought personal light to the fact that good health insurance coverage although somewhat of a luxury in this country is essential to get adequate health care. Healthcare expenses are so high, and in countries that are fortunate enough to have up to date technology that can benefit the patients, access to that care may be hard to come across. Although wellness and health expenditures do seem to be correlated more governmental spending does not always ensure quality healthcare as we sometimes see in this country. Although the US is the highest healthcare spender worldwide, some would argue that we do not have the best healthcare system. Other countries with well established ethics, stewardship, and health goals can manage to produce better health outcomes and provide more equitable healthcare with less personal and governmental expense.
The healthcare costs in California can be reformed by the proposed single payer universal healthcare system. The system seems promising, ensuring proper healthcare for everyone, and cost effective at the same time. The proposition highlights something that I am a big advocate of: quality healthcare is a right, not a luxury… check out this proposed reform at onecarenow.org
