I absolutely agree. No one has perfect health, therefore, we all need the suggestions offered in this book. Particularly, health insurance is key.

Am with the author in this one. I believe health care is a necessity, not a choice. If it is made a choice then that means a lot of lives are at risk.

I agree with the author, "healthcare is truly a necessity". We all require one form of health care one way or the other as far as there is life. Eating revolves around healthcare. We can't just do without it.

I definitely agree with the author! I don't believe anyone can go through their entire life without requiring some form of healthcare. I think that it is definitely a necessity and shouldn't only be available to those who are privileged enough to afford insurance.

Taking care of one's self is the greatest gift you can give to yourself, but there are some inevitable conditions which one can't evade no matter what. There those who inherit health condition from family line. So I would agree with the author's statement that everyone in life might require some form of medical care. I would also emphasis the need for medical insurance, this will really help.

I believe that it is a necessity. People get sick all of the time, so I think that it is a necessity to have quality healthcare because one can never know when they will need it.

I absolutely agree that healthcare is a necessity. It should not have to be a choice. People shouldn't have to debate whether to get a necessary surgery or pay for food this month. That just shouldn't be happening anywhere.

I agree. We are unlikely to move through life without ever needing some form of care. Access to medical care can be the difference between life and death and as such it is a necessity.

Undoubtedly, healthcare is a necessity! This is considering the rise of various new diseases and the fact that persons become ill more easily now-a-days. Furthermore, I think healthcare should be free for all persons regardless of the socio-economic status. In my country, I am blessed to have free healthcare but I feel sympathy for those countries where persons must pay for health services. I hope this will change, as with this current times, getting sick is almost inevitable.

I am in complete agreement with the thing that each one us does feel the need of medical care at some point of our lives. It is something that can't always be predetermined. No matter how perfectly fit and fine a person is, there are things that aren't always in our hands, current pandemic being the most recent and well-known example. So, yes, healthcare isn't a choice but an absolute necessity.

This shouldn't be a question at all. Healthcare is the most important for everyone. Either u take care of yourself or not this is for everyone. Especially in such times having health insurance is a privilege.

I definitely agree with the author. Healthcare is a necessity. Any unfortunate incident can happen to us at any point in our life and it's good to be prepared. Insurance is expensive but healthcare is much more expensive without one.

Definitely agreed with the author. Every human needs healthcare at some point of life. Be it a disease or by accident. But the insurance to rely on as a cover is also most beneficial in my opinion.

I definitely agree with the author that it is a necessity. I'm honestly surprised it would even be a question. There's no way to predict what tomorrow will hold, so it is better to be prepared.

The author gives wonderful example in her personal life. If it weren't for Health Insurance she may be in debt. I personally agree that people should have health insurance, but in today's society it is kinda difficult. I have also worked in the health care system and you have no idea how painful it was seeing patients unable to get their medications because they were too expensive or times when they couldn't get it because their insurance wouldn't cover it either. I think we first have to find a way that will help everyone, not just those one Medicaid and Medicare, to make it easier for them.
