2. Universal Health Care Definition:
 Health care is a system that provides health care insurance to all
citizens.
 The health care systems under universal health care are built upon the
principle of universal coverage for all members of society.

access to health citizens. They have a single-payer system which
means the government pays for the health care services.

4. Universal Health Care in USA:
 USA is the only industrialized nation that does not have guarantee of
healthcare to all of its citizens while declared health care to be a basic right.
 The united States treats health care as privilege, only available to those who
can offer it

5.  The USA has health care system based on insurance coverage.
 The majority of the population is covered by private based
insurance ,so the employer pays a major part of the insurance
premium to the insurance company.
 Americans are becoming increasingly confused about
universal health care and if it is even a plausible solution to a
broken health care system.
 The number of Americans without insurance is over 45
million, according to the National Coalition on Health Care.
There are benefits and drawbacks to the type of universal heath
care system practiced in other countries.

cost growth will lead to higher prices and lower output, less
employment, and lower profits.

medical spending.

of the population that is uninsured.
