After reading “Yes for Universal Health Care in United States” I agree with Yara Ramirez, that everyone should have access to the healthcare they need.  As defined by the World Health Organization, Universal Healthcare is “Ensuring that all people can use the pro-motive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship.”  These preventative services play an important role in keeping America Healthy.  A change this big will improve our nation in so many ways.  Imagine a elementary school that has a nurse on site that cares for the students.  Colds would spread less due to the children receiving care on site at the school.  Children would not miss school due to a doctors appointment. This will enhance healthy living and be the best possible learning environment for a child.  
Mark Zuckerberg has worked to create a private school that brings education and healthcare together.  While this is a great idea I believe this type of partnership would occur more often is we had Universal Healthcare.  Building incentives for healthy living will also help everyone understand the importance of healthy lifestyle.  I see Universal Healthcare as way to work and grow together as a healthy community.
