Universal Health Care

Universal Health Care 

Universal health care which is also known as universal health coverage is a system of health care that takes care of the citizens belonging to a given country health wise and financially. The provision of these services is done irrespective of ones social status, gender, income, age, wealth or ones pre-existing status or condition. This shows that as long as one is a legal member who is certified in a specific jurisdiction then that person is eligible for the universal health care. This health care service is usually funded by the government or has been subsidized by the central authority of the given region. The system is organized in a way that it will provide a specific package that will benefit the citizens of the given country with an objective or goal of covering these citizens from a financial turmoil when seeking for health services by providing a financial protection, providing health services as well as improving the outcome of the health services that they provide (WHO). However despite this system providing these health services and offering financial protection, it does not have one service for every consumer in that it has diverse services that are offered to people as to per their needs and preferences. Furthermore, it does not offer coverage for everything to the people. The universal health care can be categorized in three ways; the person who is being covered by this system, which services are being covered by the system and the amount of money being covered by the system.Universal Health Care Paper
