Human Rights: What Is It And Should The Health Of The Country Be Reflected In It?

  
People are getting fatter and fatter every day, fatness leads to bad health and that in turn develops into illness and disease, sometimes irreversible side effects form from unhealthy practices. A study has been released in June by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) that about 70 percent of Mexican adults are considered to be overweight. The United States of America is the second fattest nation on Earth, after Mexico. Not only are the majority of Americans obese and overweight, Americans also having horrible lifestyles that affect their health. The United States is a country where health is important in continuing progression to an equal society; it also is a model for foreign countries in how to resolve domestic disputes. Health care should be easily accessible to everyone living in the Unites States regardless of disability, ethnicity, religion or legal citizenship.    
    
Free health care should be an inalienable right. Human rights are the recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family. Human rights are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. When it comes to human rights the United States is one of the freest countries in the world. Homosexuals doesn't get stone to death just for having a different sexual orientation, women aren't restricted to stay at home and be caregivers, young children aren't sold as child soldiers in wars, in a lot of countries around the world occurrences like these are the norm in their society. The United States government should allow health care to be free in order to support its sick citizens, health insurance should be non-existent.

Water, shelter, food and clothes should be given freely to people of the United States, as well as free health care and insurance in order to facilitate such a huge, fully functioning society. Without food, shelter and water people will die slow painful deaths in the most agonizing ways. Whenever someone gets sick they either go to a private clinic, free clinic or hospital to aid with their disability, illness or disease. And since someone will always get sick health care should be available to everyone living within the United States borders whether they are legal citizens or illegals.  The US News and World Report states,“About six in ten people are either overweight or obese in the United States and large numbers are engaging in unhealthy behaviors like smoking, heavy drinking or not exercising.”

Health care shouldn't be whether or not someone has a standard full paying job. Only people wealthy enough for quality health insurance receive any benefits of health care having a fee. These wealthy people, who have a continuous income, pay for the best health insurance that covers expensive costs. People of every ethnicity and religion, whom are middle class and poverty stricken often, are excluded in receiving quality health coverage and often times no health coverage. The disparity gap between the rich and poor in health care is often times discouraging and unfair to those who cannot afford it.

Health care is essential to any viable society, including the United States. People living within the U.S borders should have full health coverage with minimal to no health insurance. There is a lack of health insurance in a lot of American homes irrespective of disability, ethnicity, religion or legal citizenship.  As Americans continue into the downward spiral of a secondary life, with few physical exercises, and unhealthy eating habits the United States government should start cutting down health insurance fees or even getting rid of it completely. The inalienable right of every person in America should be questioned in regards to health care and how it is handled now and in the future years. _KM
