The practice of Universal Health Care has a compelling case as a pragmatic solution to an overarching and innate dilemma of wellness. The conceptualization of medicine is largely credited to Hippocrates, who is responsible for its modern-day reigning ethical oath, the Hippocratic oath. The oath, “I shall do by my patients as I would be done by; shall obtain consultation whenever I or they desire; shall include them to the extent they wish in all important decisions; and shall minimize suffering whenever a cure cannot be obtained, understanding that a dignified death is an important goal in everyone's life,” repeated by every doctor encapsulates a notion of beneficence. Beneath all constituents of medical ethics, there remains a utilitarian ethical outlook to minimize harm. This established construct may be applied not to each patient but rather to the human population as a whole. Following this assumption, the subsequent conclusion is that Universal Health Care or even care for every patient, is innately an obligation for the proper practice of medicine
