For decades, countries around the world have been battling in the debate on what type of healthcare is most beneficial - privatized or nationalized. Though it doesn’t look like it will be resolved anytime soon, Nationalized health care seems ideal, considering patients don’t pay for their medical treatment. However, to account for all medical expenses and ensure that care is free of charge, countries must find other mediums to cover production and employment costs such as taxation. Privatized health care has been notorious for its lack of affordability to the average citizen and better care. As it is a for-profit business, there is no need for other financial support methods other than cost-sharing and out-of-pocket payment. Both Nationalized and Privatized healthcare come with their benefits and disadvantages. The debate continues, as countries with different healthcare systems prove to be well functioned and organized.
