Britain has a National Health Service where health care is available free to everyone, regardless of income. Only a minority of people have private health care insurance.
Free health care to the people of England. The NHS since Atlee's Government after WW2 is funded by the treasury and the taxes that people pay.
People in France do have universal health care. The French health care system is financed by the country’s government national health insurance. In 2000, the WHO found that France had one of the best universal health care systems in the world.
Im pretty sure it means that the health service is payed for by the government. It is payed from Taxes etc.
it mean when the government of that particular country takes care of it's people.
Each government handles health care and the costs differently. It would help to know which government and health care programs that you are referencing.
Medicaid
Seemingly, yes, but technically speaking, no. People pay taxes, and their taxes go to the government and the health care and education things.
Has any branch of government voted on health care reform?
There is nothing in the constitution about a right to health care. For over 60 years the discussion about health care has been going on. We have to ask ourselves what the purpose of government is and what we want from it. The founding fathers stated that the job of government is for the common good of the citizens. Not for people to get rich from the poor, not to wage war, but to see to the protection of the people.
The health care bill is about attempting to provide health insurance to those who cannot afford it, and to insure that people with pre-existing conditions can get health care insurance. The health care bill will require that ALL people except the poverty stricken, pay for health-care insurance. Estimates say you will pay more than what it would cost you now and you will not receive the same quality and service. It's about the government incrementally taking over 1/6 of the American economy. The same government that is running the country into bankruptcy wants to run health care for all...
Universal health care is when health care is provided by the Federal Government. Everyone is covered, but not necissarily with a good plan.
