However, upon arrival, many are confronted with a reality starkly different from the idealized version of America they envisioned—one where the healthcare system presents not freedom, but chains. The high costs and restrictive nature of the U.S. healthcare system often leave new arrivals and long-standing citizens struggling to afford basic medical needs, leading to a profound sense of disillusionment and a call for systemic reform to align America’s healthcare practices with its foundational values of liberty and justice for all.

The United States faces a potential self-engineered downfall driven by high healthcare costs, declining workforce productivity, escalating living expenses, and restrictive healthcare policies. These issues not only undermine economic stability but also diminish America’s global leadership.

Significant reforms in healthcare policy and a commitment to collective well-being are crucial to avert this decline and ensure America’s relevance and prosperity.

The United States is one of the largest contributors to the World Health Organization (WHO), funding initiatives that heavily depend on affordable, generic medications from India. Despite supporting global health programs with Indian generics, the U.S. remains reluctant to embrace these same cost-effective solutions domestically. This paradox highlights the influence of pharmaceutical lobbying and raises ethical questions about healthcare affordability and access. The contrast between supporting international health initiatives and restricting domestic use of Indian generics calls for a reevaluation of U.S. healthcare policies to better align with global health standards and patient needs.
