Should healthcare be free?

Various people discuss if health care should be free.

Lori / Canada
speakerDefinitely, I think health care should be free. Everyone should have access to ... everyone should have free access to a doctor at anytime. You shouldn't avoid going to the doctor because you are afraid of how much it will cost. There should be universally free heath care.

Eoin / Canada
speakerI'm British and health care is pretty much is free in the UK. It's what I've grown up with and somehow it's inbuilt into me that I think health care should be free for everyone.

Shalini / Canada
speakerYes. I definitely think health care should be free. From Canada, and we do pay high taxes but this allows us also to be able to enter into a hospital and not pay for what's wrong with you and the services are not bad. You might have to wait a little while but anyone can come in and get treated, so I think that's good.

Lindsay / United States
speakerI definitely think health care should be free. I think it's a really big tragedy right now that a lot of nations don't have free health care for children, and for people in general. I think it's really sad when one child is able to have their disease treated but another child has to suffer.

Chris / England
speakerYes, I believe health care should be free. It's one of the things that everyone needs so I think if you pay into it a system and if you're a part of a society then one of the things that society should give back to you is health care, if you want fantastic top-of -the-range coverage then you should have to pay for that, but basic health care should be free.

Aki / England
speakerI don't think it should be free. I think we should pay a certain amount of money because if it's for free, I think they quality of our health insurance is gonna, you know, go down, so I don't think it should be that high, like in the states where nobody actually can buy the health insurance, so I think actually Japan has quite a good system.
