that the united states should implement universal health care modeled after the french system

To start of this debate we just want to say that we are going to prove on how the United States health care is worse then the French health care system. We will prove this by the different cost, and how our economy would benefit from this. My first contention is that by implementing this universal health then it would make things cheaper. In the united state we pay around 6,100 dollars per person where as in France they pay 3,500 dollars which is half of what we pay. So if we were to implement universal health care modeled after the French system then it would obviously cost less. Also it would be cheaper for the United States because we are running a 2.3 trillion dollar debt due to health care. Also NCHC has stated that in 2016 we will be running a 7 trillion dollar debt to our health care. Where as in France they are running a 2.3 billion dollar deficit, So If we were to implement this plan then we would be slowing down the process of debt that we are leading to. So what I'm trying to prove here in my first contention is that both are health care system has high prices we are not ignoring that but what we are saying is that are prices and debt is much larger then France. So if we were to implement the French health care system then we would be slowing down our increasing debt. Because either way both plans would give us more debt but we are showing you that with the French health care system it would not raise so much as if we did not have the French health care system. My second contention is that it would benefit to our economy. How it would benefit to our economy is that by implementing this universal health care it would make it cheaper for our economy in price and it would slow down our increasing debt as I have shown you in my first contention. By taking in the universal health care it would mean that there would be less people paying out of there pocket. Also by implementing this universal health care it would give our citizens more money to buy consumer goods which stimulate our economy. This would also benefit to helping our currency. In the United States there are an estimated 45 million people who do not have health insurance. The other benefits of having this universal health care are that it would cover all our people in the United States with health insurance. Also by implementing this universal health care we would be inspiring more people to become doctors because in the French plan it gives free tuition. My third contention is that the United States health care is remarkably ineffective. The United States has, according to business week, the United States has forty seven million citizens who are uninsured, which is about fifteen percent of our country who is forced to use free health insurance care clinics or emergency rooms. The world health organization ranked us thirty-seventh on it's ranking of health care system. We spend about sixteen percent of our GDP annually on health care, averaging out six thousand and one hundred dollars an individual. The London school of hygiene reported this year that the United States had an average of one hundred thousand people annually, equating to one hundred and one thousand deaths a year that could have been avoided with timely and effective health care. The United States health care system is not working: too few people have access to health care, it's too expensive, and treatment is not being administrated in a proper manner. sources. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov... http://www.bmj.com...
