    “Inasmuch as the primary object of a government, beyond the mere repression of physical violence, is the making of the rules which determine the property relations of members of society, the dominant classes whose rights are thus to be determined must perforce obtain from the government such rules as are consonant with the larger interests necessary to the continuance of their economic processes, or they must themselves control the organs of government.”…

    Concept Comparison and Analysis across Theories

    Everyone deserves the right to keep the body and the mind in good condition, maintaining physical and mental well-being with the absence of illnesses, injuries, or impairments; these are the characteristics of good health. (" Health", 2012). The government takes at heart the responsibility for everyone to have good health and is committed to health promotion and disease prevention. The primary means is the availability of local, state, and national public health resources to empower everyone to take control of their health and to increase awareness of illness prevention. The history of public health and the significant events of some of the health agencies whether local, state, or national will give a clear understanding of the functions, commitment, and services of the public health organizations toward every citizen of this nation.…

    A Republican View on Health Care

    Government run health care is the first step towards a situation in which the government controls the citizen’s lives. It is this governmental control that must be reduced. Instead, it is time to give the individual his freedom back and let him decide his own health care option. The individual’s right to freedom is inalienable and deeply anchored in the US Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. However, if the state has the control over the citizen’s health care choices, the individual’s freedom is severely restricted. Government run health care does not encourage the competitiveness, creates higher taxes and limits the people’s freedom, by undermining their right to choose their own health care options.…
