Pro: Universal Health Care

One important 2008 Presidential Campaign political issue is the Universal Health care. Everyone has the right to affordable and high quality health care. Basically, Universal Health care is a system that is managed by the government. It provides equal coverage of health benefits for all citizens of America. In the current system, most small or starting businesses can not afford health care for their employees due to ever increasing insurance premiums. If there is a universal health care system, these businesses can afford and provide medical benefits accordingly.
The problem with our health care system today is that if you are unemployed you won't get any health care at all because you can only gain it through your employer. For example, if a father were lose his job due to sickness and the mother is the only source of income. He no longer has health care and now the wife has to provide for both her husband's medication, necessities for their family and bills. Then the wife had to quit her job to take care of her husband, leaving the family with no source of income and no means of health care.
