In June, Tim Weaver wrote a post called The Immorality of Universal Health Care on Brazen Careerist that sparked a firestorm of strongly opinionated comments, including from me. It’s something that has stuck in my mind given my strong interest in health and public welfare.

I decided to write a series of posts that explore arguments that market the need for adoption of universal health care beyond political ideological discussion. I think that some of the reasons get lost in knee jerk reactions and the horror stories from other countries. I am looking forward to some robust discussion about the topic.

Here is a preview of things to come:

1. The Moral Argument
2. The Economic Argument
3. The National Security Argument
4. The Consumerist Argument
5. The Inevitability Argument
6. The Demographic Argument
