Do you think Healthcare is not Human Right?

Human rights are the most important spiritual rights applicable to everyone. There are several reasons why healthcare should not be considered human rights. We have rights, and we have rights only by our humanity. The existence of human rights has nothing to do with our culture, religion, race, nationality, or economic status. Only by exercising these rights freely can we enjoy a dignified life.

A recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Center showed that nearly 60% of Americans believe that the government is obliged to guarantee healthcare coverage. However, the actual meaning of protecting people’s health is unclear. “American Indians and Alaska Natives have the legal right to medical services when they are born, based on a treaty in which tribes exchange land and natural resources for various social services.”

The School of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of North Dakota Aspen Ideas co-chaired by The Atlantic: Health group meeting said. *” Unfortunately, they never received enough resources.”

Human rights violations not only encourage and exacerbate poor health conditions, but also affect many people, including people with disabilities, indigenous people, people living with HIV, sex workers, drug users, transgender people, and bisexuals. The risk comes when they are more vulnerable to human rights violations, including forced or forced treatment and procedures.

All rights owned by individuals imply the responsibilities of others. Therefore, the right to a fair trial imposes a fair obligation on the procuratorial organ. Who is responsible for providing medical services to all citizens of the world? Should it be the responsibility of individual doctors, hospital authorities, the government, or only the government of the rich countries?

It is difficult to see when meeting any of the requirements will bring an unbearable burden to others, and how to call any benefits provided as human rights as opposed to legal rights.

In the United States, we cannot enjoy the right to health care. Our system is designed to deprive rather than support the right to health. The United States does not actually have a health care system, only a medical insurance system. Our government defends human rights around the world, insists that other countries protect human rights, and even imposes sanctions on countries that do not. Our government is not as strong in protecting family rights which is a drawback for our government. Therefore, human right is important in the fields especially Healthcare as it is one of the core department for any Government in order to lead a country in a superior way.

Other basic human rights also clearly define good health, including access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities, nutritious food, adequate housing, education, and safe work. The right of everyone to health means that everyone should get what they need Health care services, when and where they need them without financial difficulties.

Everyone’s right to health means that everyone should get the health care they need when and where they need it, without having to suffer financial hardship. No one will get sick or die because of poor people or lack of access to needed medical services.

Therefore, in conclusion, we as a nation call on all countries to respect and protect human rights in health in their laws, health policies, and programs. We must all work together to eliminate inequalities, discriminatory, and divergent practices so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of good health regardless of age, gender, race, religion, health status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or immigration status how is it.

Hence, it is said that and believed by all the developed countries that human rights are very important and to implement them in different important fields so that everyone has their equal right no discrimination can be experienced and everyone can be able to get treatment without any financial difficulties such as countries like Finland, Australia, and Norway, etc. As a nation, we have to learn from them and implement them in the same way as they did to provide the best possible services for health in our county.

Conclusion:

All of this history has nothing to do with insurance, but only with the basic human right to access health care. We know that the insurance system will not work. We must stop mixing insurance and medical care, and demand universal medical care. If we can really name the right to health, maybe we can also claim the right to health. We must take home our government’s strong defense of human rights to protect and serve the people it represents. Band-aids cannot solve this problem, but the real healthcare system can and will. As human beings, we must name ourselves and our descendants and claim this right.
