Abstract
The reason behind carrying out this research is to compare and contrast the two main features of the health care systems between the united states of America and any other developing nation. For this case, I choose Britain as the developing nation comparison. There is a description of the health care system in each nation which will be done on the first part of this research paper. Finally, a comparison of the health systems will be done in the next part.
Little integration and government involvement
United states of America have a very different health care system compared to other developing nations. On the side of government intervention, the system is controlled by the private sector. Most health centers are owned by individuals or companies that are after making a profit.
