Debate: This house believes there's no role for government in healthcare

Unaffordable, or irremovable? Publicly funded healthcare systems are struggling almost universally.\r\nIndividual autonomy vs public health initiatives. The right to care vs the right to choose. Economic burden vs inequity.\r\nThe role of government in healthcare is contentious, and fraught with nuance. On one side, it reduces patient autonomy, costs an astronomical amount, and the lack of competition can foster a culture of complacency in innovation.\r\nOn the other, private markets can lead to inequity, and as health is a fundamental right, surely government should guarantee it?\r\nShould patients be cared for as a fundamental right, or does government involvement only lead to bureaucratic inefficiencies, limited choices, and lower-quality care?\r\nJoin us for a heated Oxford Union-style debate between some of the brightest minds in the sector.
