To Care or Not To Care

As the number of uninsured United States residents grows to over 45 million, our world is seeing an increase in populations that can't afford healthcare. Rather than increasing the cost of healthcare, perhaps the cost should be completely eliminated. These two factors, money and health, seem to be directly related: The better the job, the better your health. The more money you have, the more time you have for recreation and exercise. The larger the wealth, the more healthy, organic fruits and vegetables you can purchase. Money means a better, healthier lifestyle and most importantly, medicine and healthcare. Unfortunately, not everyone has the money for good health. Considering this relationship, the evolution of bacteria, and population growth, should the United States government provide free healthcare? 
About forty or fifty years ago, antibiotics could effectively treat various diseases. In the past two decades, scientists and healthcare works have seen evolved breeds of bacteria and viruses coded with antibiotic resistance, including Antibiotic-Resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).The main cause may very well be the lack of professional opinion. People will overuse antibiotics because they don't know its effects and if it's suitable to cure their conditions. This can easily be solved if people could freely speak to healthcare professionals and allow them to prescribe medicine rather than believing that a certain antibiotic would cure them. For example, some people will take penicillin for a cold even though a cold is a virus that is not affected by antibiotics. Furthermore, people will stop taking these antibiotics once they feel better even if the antibiotic has not completely eliminated the bacteria or virus, allowing it to adapt to the antibiotic and develop resistance. These new strains of bacteria can be spread around the world through travel and contact. However, the development of antibiotic resistance could be prevented if a professional opinion was involved—if only seeking healthcare was free.
With a larger population of about 7.4 billion, people are forced to live closer together, making it easier for diseases to spread. As more and more people get sick, the demand for healthcare increases. With economic matters out of the way, such as insurance procedures and malpractice liability, healthcare professionals can focus on giving more quality care. Additionally, many people cannot afford any form of healthcare and are left to wait until these diseases take their lives. These diseases can easily be treated early with free physical checkups. Research shows that about 44 million Americans avoid these physicals because of the cost. Millions of people can be spared if the United States government provides free healthcare.
Furthermore, if too many people become ill, the United States government will not have a nation to govern. Eventually, the diseases will reach the government too and scientists just can't magically pull cures out of their top hats.
