Yes, I support the government providing basic health insurance for everyone.
Here’s why:
Public health benefits: When everyone has access to basic healthcare, diseases are detected and treated earlier, reducing the spread and severity of illnesses.
Economic impact: Healthier populations are more productive, miss less work, and are less likely to fall into poverty due to medical bills.
Equity and fairness: Access to essential healthcare shouldn't depend on income or employment status.
Cost savings: Preventive care and early treatment are usually much cheaper than emergency or late-stage care, which helps control long-term healthcare costs.
