Health care is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well being. It usually involves preventive medicine as well as drugs and surgery.
In the United States of America, people pay for health care using insurance. In other countries throughout the world, the government raises taxes in order to provide "socialized medicine".
Politics of health care
Robert Moffitt said:
- Liberal candidates generally embrace expanding government programs. Expanding government control over the financing and delivery of medical services will guarantee even bigger bureaucracy, higher taxes, and increasingly detailed regulations governing the delivery of care. Conservative candidates generally emphasize the need to re-energize the market and make individuals and families the key decision-makers in the system. [1]
