    The US healthcare system faces significant issues despite advances in treatment methods. Approximately 50 million Americans lack health insurance, and costs are the highest in the world. The main problems are high costs, lack of insurance coverage, lack of transparency, difficulty finding good doctors, and high mortality rates among poor populations. To address these issues, the document argues for a universal healthcare system providing coverage to all US citizens without financial barriers and regardless of income or ability to pay. This system could solve problems by benefiting all citizens through equal access to care. However, some counterarguments are potential waits for services and paying for care not received.

    BACKGROUND OF THE
    ISSUE
    The U.S. Health care system faces
    real issue:

    Although the U.S. Has a great leadership in the research of new


    treat methods, his medical system faces relevant issues,
    because they not offer a public health system.

    STATISTICS
    On this graphic we can see that the US system is the
    most expensive one, compared to other countries such
    as France or Germany.

    Due to the fact that the US system has a high cost, this
    fact may be dangerous for the financial an economic
    well-being of the United States. Moreover, it seems
    that the costs will grow. Nevertheless, there’s still a
    chance to change this system.
    MAKING THE HEALTH
    AMENDMENT
    In the United States, due to the bad
    perpectives on the future there should
    be a universal health system in which
    every citizen of the US has access to
    health services without financial
    privation. This health services are
    offered to people at any time or any
    place when its needed.
    WHY WILL THIS SYSTEM
    SOLVE THE PROBLEM?
    This new system, which is used in
    other countries such as Spain, will
    benefit every citizen in the united
    states. Also it will not discriminate
    poor people and it will give them a
    healthier live as well as equality to
    the people who have more money
