Do you believe that access to healthcare is a right or privilege?
I believe that access to healthcare is a right. It breaks my heart when I see sick people who cannot afford treatment because they do not have healthcare. I believe it is especially important for children to have health care because they have no control over having healthcare or not having healthcare. I think that everyone is equal and deserve the right to have healthcare whether they can afford it or not so that everyone has a fair chance at a healthy life. When people do not have healthcare it increases their risks of many different preventable diseases. Many people who do not have healthcare will not go for routine check-ups like someone with healthcare because of their inability to pay for their doctor’s visit. If everyone was provided healthcare no matter their socioeconomic status, race, religion, or employment status, then I truly believe that there would be healthier people with healthier lifestyles.

I think you are right that it is important for our children to have access to healthcare. If we can teach them when they are young how important it is to take care of their bodies, I believe they will seek the healthcare they need throughout their lives and therefore live longer healthier lives. I think it would also build their self esteem if they knew they were making right choices for their bodies.
