Iola BonggayIn the United States, the issue of health and/or health care is taken very seriously. With a population of over 300 million people, the United States Government has to run a tight ship in constantly maintaining the integrity and physical and psychological security of its people.
The health care system in the US is as diverse as it is all-encompassing. A huge number of health care facilities are now owned by private sectors while a huge chunk of health insurance plans are primarily provided by the government in the public sector.
At present, the primary health services provided by the United States are that of programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and the Veterans Health Administration.
