Introduction In recent times, there have been discussions concerning the quality of health care systems in US when compared to other nations. For instance, a politically affiliated group termed as Physicians for a National Health program observed that the idea of a free market in health care has decreased the quality of healthcare services. This has subsequently lead to high rates of mortality in private health facilities in comparison to public health services. A study conducted by the World Health Organization in 2000 affirmed this concept when it found that public health systems in industrial countries spent less funds on the overall health care.
