Universal healthcare refers to any system of health care managed by the government. The healthcare system may cover different programs including government-run hospitals and health organizations and programs targeted at providing health care.This has made it the subject of a heated debate characterized by people who argue that the country requires a kind of socialized system that will permit increased government participation. Others have tended to support privatized health care, or a combined model of private and universal health care that will permit private companies to offer health care for a specific fee. Universal healthcare has numerous advantages that remain hidden from society.
First, the federal government can apply economies of scale in managing health facilities which would reduce health care expenses.
Second, all unnecessary expenses would be eliminated by requiring all states to bring together all the insurance companies into a single entity whose mandate would be to provide health insurance to all people.
Lastly, increased government participation will guarantee quality care, improve access to medical services and address critical problems relating to market failure.
