Health care access is the ability to obtain healthcare services such as prevention, diagnosis , treatment and management of diseases, illnesses, disorders, and other health impacting conditions. It is a fundamental human right recognized by the World Health Organization. So why are we paying for it?

What is free healthcare?

Free health care would mean that all people have access to the full range of quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship. Typically, the government or another entity covers the cost of medical services, treatments, and medications for individuals, without requiring direct payment from patients at the point of care. This can involve various models, such as a single-payer system where the government funds healthcare directly, or a system where healthcare is publicly funded but delivered by private providers. The aim is to ensure that everyone has access to necessary medical care regardless of their ability to pay.

Why should everyone have access to free healthcare?

Everyone should get access to free healthcare so that there are equal and equitable opportunities for people to get the treatment they need. People shouldn't have to suffer because they are unable to afford the burden of medical expenses. Being healthy is expensive but access to healthcare is a human right so it should be free to all persons.
