There has been an ongoing debate on establishing specific rights for individuals in order to create and maintain an equal society. Equality presumes that each person is endowed with the same number of rights regardless of their age, sex, race, and other factors. One of such privileges is health insurance, which remains under discussion since not every citizen can receive it. However, if people demand equality, health coverage and other forms of assistance need to be provided for every individual as a fundamental human right.
To my mind, any kind of government assistance should be granted to each state’s citizens despite their socio-economic status (SES) and demographic peculiarities. It would be unfair if a 50-year-old pensioner could receive fewer benefits than a 25-year-old woman working two jobs. Alleviating access to obtaining insurance or other social needs as financial aid or a loan program can be beneficial in terms of establishing equity. In my view, the accessibility to such services must be equal for every population layer and should be appointed by the law. This access to social assistance programs should become a fundamental human right, since it will protect vulnerable groups and ensure that no one is deprived of anything.
As a result, if the state wants to guarantee equality for each society member, its representative should entitle citizens with equal rights to accessing different social and health services. Since equality is at the heart of human rights, the government should contribute to its growth by lawfully establishing the same rights for every person regardless of their SES, age, race, and other features. Enhancing equity is the key priority of any country to ensure stability and prosperity.
