National Healthcare system:

Almost 26million Americans are uninsured. The WHO recommends that the implement of National Health system provide quality care. This system will protect against the financial budget as the U.S is spending about $3 trillion for healthcare which is almost one-sixth of the country's economy. The implementation of ObamaCare in 2010 is closely related to NHS. NHS makes American to compulsory insurance pay under non-profit government intervention. This will improve the life expectancy of Americans.

The single-payer system is tax-funded so the public is more beneficial. The main barrier for NHS is the individual liberty. There is a controversy between employer insurance and healthcare provider. Moreover, the healthy individuals are not interested because the private insurance is more expensive. For example, a Bypass surgery cost $15,000 in Netherland, whereas it costs around $75000 in the U.S.

Further, NHS system reduces the prescription drug cost. NHS covers most part of the care. It eliminates the health disparities by equal coverage and equal distribution of health care. Physicians also retain in the job, if they assured of proper income through NHS. NHS provides transparent health services.
