Country Selection
I chose to do my research paper on England’s Healthcare System, and compare it to our system of healthcare here in the United States. I have always been obsessed with England, their accents, tea, their architecture, writers, musicians such as Duran Duran, etc.…. So naturally I am interested in their healthcare system.
The only thing I know about England’s healthcare system is that it is free to all citizens, and that it is one of the few countries that has this type of system. There is private health care and a wide variety of alternative and complementary treatments are available for those willing to pay, although the public health system is the main source of healthcare in England. The National Health Service (NHS) which is England’s public service system is in charge of healthcare in the United Kingdom. (Europe-cities, 2016)

The writer tries to give us the US healthcare system over some passed years. There Healthcare system’s timeline ranges from 1912 to 2012 and a series of reforms have been happening year in year out to ensure that the residents get what they deserve. These historical moments are best in explaining the current position they are now in since the nation is committed to giving the best to its residents. For instance in 1942: Roosevelt establishes wage and price controls during World War II, to best equip the healthcare system and ensure that people are attended well at zero cost.

The writer from this website is categorical to give his information concerning the Healthcare system in UK (England). He affirms that the healthcare system is absolutely free to the citizens and this has been happening for quite a long time. This is accompanied with very few supplementary charges. This care services is free to all the residents including those who reside outside the UK. The services are managed by the Health Department that is decentralized. The UK management gets all its money to sustain the health system from the mandatory taxation to insurance premiums. Private healthcare are also funded privately by private insurance contributions. The writer also tells us that both private and public healthcare systems collaborate for emergency cases to save life. This shows ho UK is committed to give the best to its residents. The UK healthcare system is categorized into General Practitioners (GP's), consultants, Dispensing and Prescription, Dentist, Accident and Emergency (A&E), and NHS Direct where designated services can be found at ease.

From this article, the author tells us more on what is good and admirable on the US healthcare systems. There is a lot to admire since the US has well equipped itself with the latest equipment and trained personnel to ensure that quality service is disseminated to the residents. Compared to other nations like Canada and UK, it is doing well despite the poor management that will make the residents appreciate the services. The writer provides the best ten reasons and when keenly read, one can judge that US is the nation to expect the best Medicare. This reasons are well if implemented.

The author of this material tells us more on what has been happening to the US healthcare system. He Major on two important realities as to what the US system has failed to meet the expectation of its residents. One of the core realities is that the current US healthcare system is increasingly inaccessible to many people especially the poor and lower-middle-class people. This is very much alarming since US is on the map of developed nations and its citizens expect improved services. The author puts things straight here when he compares it systems to other nations and the reality is that, United States pays roughly twice as much per capita for healthcare services as compared to Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. This is accompanied by slightly lower life expectancy. This annoys the residents. The second reality is on the political exchanges on the reforms that do involve matters to do with healthcare.
