RQ1: Should we have universal health care in the United States?
H0: There is no relationship between patients’ satisfaction and universal health care
Abstract Summary
The United States is struggling to access health coverage for the whole population and to reduce the general cost of health care. At a particular degree, policymakers have addressed the issue at the state, local, and federal levels. Since the health care system is continuously becoming a significant issue that concerns US voters, the subject on Universal healthcare is turning into the leading measure of value in the presidential election of 2020. My research finding on Universal health coverage concerning patient satisfaction is that the coverage would ensure that the whole population accesses health care services for unhealthy people regardless of race, employment status, gender, geographical location, or age. On the other hand, the coverage may force healthy people to pay for unhealthy people against the tenets of traditional American values. The goal of this study is to provide an in-depth analysis of the views regarding patient satisfaction and universal health care coverage, including its effects in all aspects. I used different research materials in journals, articles, websites, and reviews to develop the arguments and evidence on the status of universal health care coverage and its impacts in the United States. The results were that even though the coverage has positive evaluations, it also affects the US population in different ways.
