This accessibly written book explains universal healthcare; the
many forms it can take; and the issues, debates, and historical
context underpinning the continued struggle for its implementation
in the United States. Universal healthcare may be defined as any
healthcare system that ensures at least basic coverage to most, if
not all, citizens of a country. Although it may be implemented in
many ways, universal healthcare has been widely accepted by
international humanitarian organizations such as the World Health
Organization (WHO) as the best way to ensure the universal human
right to health. So why is the United States the only
industrialized country without universal healthcare? What are the
political, social, and economic factors that have prevented its
successful introduction? Universal Healthcare explores what
universal healthcare is, the many forms it can take—using
examples from countries around the world—and the tumultuous
history of attempts to implement a system of universal healthcare
in the United States. Part II delves into the contentious issues
and debates surrounding adoption of universal healthcare in the
United States. Lastly, Part III provides a variety of useful
materials, including case studies, a timeline of critical events, a
glossary, and a directory of resources.
