Content: Democratic Views on Healthcare
To start with, though, let’s attempt to assess the positioning of the two major (or, perhaps more honestly, larger) political parties. Democrats and Liberals, generally, favor a positioning that they believe focuses on the care and needs of the people. While many may not support legislation that would create a Single Payer Healthcare System (generally the more moderate among the Democrats), there are a substantial number who do. The logic that supports such thinking can come from a variety of places: the idea that the government has an obligation to provide for the care of its citizens, that medical care is a basic human right, and that the idea of a lower or middle income family going bankrupt pursuing medical care is immoral in the extreme. Even among those Democrats and Liberals that don’t favor a Single Payer solution, there is a strong support for government protections and regulations – particularly looking towards preexisting conditions and appropriate safeguards. Thus, the general support for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite the fact that many Liberals still recognize it as an imperfect solution to a complex problem. Republican Views on Healthcare
What about the Republicans and Conservatives in general, though? Well, while they do want to remove the government from many aspects of public life, many Republicans are willing to abide by the idea that certain areas of Healthcare do merit legislative action. While the ACA may be openly decried by Republicans, certain aspects of the legislation (such as certain protections for pre-existing conditions) do carry worth in the eyes of some.
