Every year an employed or unemployed citizen suffers from not having adequate health coverage. Most developed nations have universal coverage that covers their citizens and their families. Apparently here in the United States, healthcare is a controversial issue for our economy and an even bigger issue in funding these benefits for our citizens. Now the main question citizens are asking is: "If most developed nations have universal coverage, why doesn't the richest nation, the United States, have it?" (Ponnuru) This is a problem that no one other than the government can let us know what is really happening right now, but the results always emerge as bad research or loss of funds. Healthcare needs to step up because time is really being wasted. Half of the 50 million people in the United States are currently uninsured. New health care laws were intended to expand health insurance coverage, but a trade association has warned that it will end up excluding 60 million manufacturing workers from coverage provided by their employers over the next decade unless be resolved before this happens. (Newton-Small ). Companies offered health coverage to their employers, but some laws prevented them from providing certain benefits, forcing them into something called a one-size-fits-all system. Basically like a waiting list. The problem with the one-size-fits-all system is that health care is simply too large and complex to manage at the government level. This is a government created system that cannot be fixed. Obama's health care charge would dump 60 million workers into state laws and federal insurance exchanges leading up to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). With the economy in crisis, the ACA is far from affordable… mid-paper… next year. According to Forbes, the government will spend $2 trillion to expand traditional insurance coverage to approximately 30 million uninsured people. The government for its part claims that, thanks to the insurance market price review program, the Affordable Care Act has already saved consumers about a billion dollars. The discomfort of knowing you're a hard worker and not getting adequate health benefits is a big deal. You never know when something will happen to you or even your family members. Not having health insurance is a scary thing, and people who work and pay taxes should be able to benefit from universal coverage. If universal health coverage were present in countries that are not as rich as us, we should have the best coverage through funding for the best. All this wasted extra money doesn't help people.
