What are the Benefits of Socialized Health Care?
While there is an ongoing debate on the application of socialized health care versus that of private health care, there is no question that a socialist approach to providing health care for everyone is attractive and has a number of benefits. Here are some of the advantages that are often cited by proponents of socialized health care. One of the most often cited benefits of socialized health care is that the program is available for all persons, regardless of social or economic standing. This type of universal health care appears to lessen the chance that a person with no health insurance will choose to not seek health care in the event of an illness. One of the underlying principles of socialized health care is that every citizen of a given country has an inherent human right to receive at least a minimal standard of medical attention.
