Assignment:
In 2007, San Francisco began its Healthy San Francisco Plan designed to provide healthcare for all San Francisco citizens. The city plans to pay for this $203 million coverage by rerouting the $104 million the city currently spends treating the uninsured in the emergency rooms, mandating business contributions, and requiring income-adjusted enrollment fees. The plan requires all businesses with more than 20 employees to contribute a percentage toward the plan. Many business owners consider this a burden and warn they will not stay in the city. The Mayor sees universal health access a moral obligation for the city.
- Does San Francisco have an obligation to provide its citizens with health access? If not, why not?
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
