Steve Ryan and the Medical Freedom Bill

Steve Ryan

Healthcare is one of the fundamental human rights, and it's essential for the well-being of an individual. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the right to health also means that every person has access to medical and healthcare facilities regardless of their political beliefs, religion, race, and socio-economic conditions. It’s quite concerning that the government fails to recognize the importance of affordable healthcare, due to which many humans are penalized financially. This problem in the system has also been questioned by songwriter and singer Steve Ryan, who has vowed to use his influence to fight for the Medical Freedom Bill.

Ever since his debut in 2010, Steve Ryan has released four albums and multiple singles, winning the hearts of his beloved fans. He wants to spread peace in this world, and he believes that one way to attain that is through freedom. Peace and freedom go hand in hand, and Ryan's music and activism are based on this ideology. Besides producing songs that soothe the soul and warm the heart, Steve actively fights for those facing medical debts due to the catastrophic health expenditure. It's beyond his belief how a superpower such as the US cannot cater to the medical needs of the people. Putting his influence to good use, he tries his best to spread awareness about the importance of a stable healthcare system that doesn't exploit any individual. Steve Ryan says, "People don't choose to get sick. It's not fair that they are penalized if they can't afford to pay their medical bills or if they don't have health insurance or if the health insurance doesn't cover it all." Since the right to security, education, food, and the standard of living are interconnected with the right to healthcare, Steve wants a world where people easily access medical services without worrying about their finances. He thinks it's bizarre that this health expenditure is so expensive that people wait for their condition to worsen before even thinking about visiting a doctor, resulting in poor and fatal health conditions.

The Petition for Change

To help eradicate the deteriorating health conditions of the people, Steve Ryan encourages people to sign a Med Freedom Petition that is available at change.org. The petition lays out a detailed framework as to how a new medical bill law can be created, sponsored, and passed by Congress & the White House. With over 100,000 signatures as of now, the petition also addresses the Medical Debt Relief Bill, which was reintroduced by Congresswoman Katie Porter and Senator Jeff Merkley in earlier 2021. According to Steve," This bill has many good intentions, but in my opinion, it does not go far enough." Considering that medical bills play a major role in people's lives, Steve is hopeful that the Med Freedom petition will get enough signatures to ensure that healthcare becomes affordable.

Steve's influence greatly impacts people as they are finally provided with the opportunity to actively fight for their medical needs without taking their healthcare requirements for granted. By signing this petition, more people now recognize their rights instead of being passive recipients and letting financial discrimination become a major barrier to their lives. Steve Ryan proposes that the extensive consumer-friendly Medical bills keep medical debt completely off of credit reports. He also calls for the government and policymakers to develop a national repayment plan for income-driven medical debt for necessary medical bills.

Since Steve Ryan has only proposed this bill to free people bearing a financial loss, he has also noted potential risks that this law can bring. While this is for a good cause, he doesn't neglect that the bill can be misused. He believes that certain safeguards should be applied to prevent abuse. For example, the cost of the cosmetic will not be counted in the essential medical bills.

Ryan’s fight for change is quite inspiring and empowering. His selflessness and activism are centered around helping people raise their voices for their rights and their well-being. There are many sufferings in this world, and Steve teaches people that the only way to break the barriers is by collectively putting in the effort to fight for what they deserve. With the beauty of his touching poetry, he also motivates people to work on themselves and take a chance to heal their hearts. This is one reason why his two poetry books Love Poems: Are You the One? and Life Destiny made the best sellers category at Amazon. His remarkable personality makes people feel worthy and cared for through his relatable music and activism. With his charming personality and great influence, Steve Ryan is ready to eradicate the sufferings of all Americans and the world.
