Question

Discuss comprehensively the comparison of United States and Austria Healthcare System.

Answer 1

AMERICAN VS. AUSTRALIAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM:-
(i) US health care system is designed in a way in which its people are largely responsible for their own health care costs at their own choice.
-This is the result of the extensive push towards the private sector of health.
(ii) The Australian health care system is designed to incorporate two major contributors to funding, the public sector (nation's revenue and taxation) and the private sector (private organisations).
(iii) The Australian health care system has a similar mixed market structure to health care as the American. This similarity is evident due to the presence of both public and private sectors providing funds to deliver health care.
(iv) The US model produces the lack of need by the majority of people to create equity. Equity is seen to be non existent within the American health care model.
-Equity within the Australian health care is of greater ideological value for all Australians no matter there level of income, social status or ethnicity.
