im going to put my own 2 cents in here.

My mother was talking to her friends cousin who is from Toronto. Canada has universal health care. The one thing he said was
"Americans don't really realize that if they get universal health care then they're going to have to wait longer for the most simplest medical needs. Like if you break something, surguries, dentist, therapies , transplants you're going to have to wait possibly weeks or months even though it should take maybe minutes or days. They're more concerned on how much they don't have to spend."

Which is true because you have to get that accepted by the government. I mean if i had to get a transplant i wouldn't want to wait months, i shouldn't have to and there have been people who have had to wait that long.

This is true, we will have to wait longer. We had a discussion like this today in my American History class, don't know why but we talked about it. It was a debate, and neither of the side was stronger than the other. There was some strong points about the pros and cons, but in the end it balanced each other out for the voters to decide. For me, I am biased right now, I agree with both sides. My parents are fully against universal healthcare, because they are old, and everyone wants to be treated first.

Not only will we have to wait, but it will be easier for those who want to work in the medical field. They need medical workers now, but atleast they are challenged and are working hard. Once we have the universal healthcare the clinics and hospitals will need more workers. More chance of making those who want to work in that field easier, when it shouldn't be easy.

If we do have universal healthcare, that's great for those who are having a hard time to get insurance. Some people that I know who have jobs and are working very hard that are legal, do not have insurance because the companies do not approve them. The company says they are not able to afford insurance. I believe that is absurd because those who need them the most are rejected because of financial issues. Then again, it's the economy to blame.
