Healthcare, a choice or necessity?

[Ldpuff]

I definitely agree that it is a necessity for all. It is highly doubtful that a person will navigate through their entire life without needing healthcare services. I do believe that a large amount of people are finding other ways to handle their health, albeit more natural ways and therefore believe it might not be a necessity for all. If you ask me, we are in a shift in this area.

Healthcare is definitely a necessity. You can never predict illness and any medical condition. From the time we're born til we die, there could be many instances where we might require good healthcare.

More than a choice or a necessity, I think healthcare should be a right, everywhere. Not everybody will be chronically ill in their lifetime. Some will never get more than a scratch, but how could you know before it happens?
If everyone makes an effort, distributing in taxes the cost of health care, anyone will be capable of being cured, if in need. Regardless of whether he/she can economically afford it or not.

Healthcare is a necessity. In the course of life, human beings encounter a plethora of health needs. While some may not require medical interventions, some cannot do without. It is, therefore, prudent to incorporate medical attention as one of the basic needs since, without it, we are deprived of optimum living standards.

I agree it is a necessity, but we also have a choice. We can choose to get it or not, and quite a few people choose not to. I also agree that we will encounter a variety of health needs over the course of our lifetime, making healthcare a prudent and wise choice. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I agree that medical care is a necessity; I mean, why wouldn't it be? That's why an insurance for it is mandatory in developed countries like ours. However, some people may feel that it isn't because of their religious beliefs.

Health is a part of daily life and therefore every person will need to seek medical help regarding their health at some point in their life. Therefore, healthcare is an absolute necessity.

I thin it's a necessity. Everyone will need healthcare in their life. Doing healthy activities won't do. It's important to get the help needed for your body with healthcare and insurance.

Healthcare is a choice. We choose to seek healthcare at our leisure or out of necessity. It is a choice that often we wish we could avoid because of the cost. However, it is a choice that. is impacted by how much we know. Navigating the healthcare system can be costly and time-consuming and as with any other commodity the more information we have about healthcare, the better decisions we are able to make.

I agree that it is a necessity. Also, we cannot ignore that a lot of health issues (genetic disorders, cancer, asthma, allergies at a high incidence rate and increasing) are a direct consequence of our lifestyle and man-made disasters, such as chemicals virtually invading our bodies, pollution of the air, water, and soil, and radioactive zones. The list goes on. Thereby, while people are free to make their choice, just like any other infrastructure in place supporting our lifestyle, healthcare should be as accessible.

To me, Healthcare is a necessity. This is because at every point of our lives we need a medical care at one point or the other either indirectly or directly. So, it's not a choice, but a necessity that we embrace when we face a medical challenge.

[TheMazeRunner]

I agree with that statement. Every person is different, and no one knows if you are gonna get hit by a bus one day. I bet no one knows how to treat those wounds. We all need healthcare.

[Jessica Dickens]

I absolutely agree with the author and healthcare is an absolute necessity for not just older people but to people of every age group, cast or creed. Sickness doesn't discriminate between the rich and the poor, or even the righteous and the sinners everyone falls sick at any point in their lifespan.

[Joseph Dunn]

I agree that medical care in the modern era is a necessity. Whether it's diagnostic, preventative, or maintenance treatments we all benefit from medical technology and care. At the very least, one of the first experiences in life for most individuals (at least in developed countries) involves an interaction with a medical team in a medical facility.

I agree that healthcare is a necessity, but some people don't. I think it is interesting that you mention some people might not because of their religious beliefs, I am surprised it hasn't come up sooner. It is also interesting how healthcare/insurance is done in different countries. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and bringing something new to the discussion. I agree that we are in a shift in the healthcare area, more people are trying to go holistic and not traditional medicine. I also believe it is a necessity for all, but there will be people who will choose not to get it.
