Health Care Delivery System in the United States

The U.S. has a health care delivery system that is distinctive as compared to other health care delivery systems in the world. Nearly all the developed countries have national health insurance program except the U.S. The programs are financed by the government and taxes paid by citizens. Citizens in such countries are covered by the health insurance policies. It is not the case in the U.S., where not all the Americans are covered by the insurance programs. It is, therefore, a manifestation that there is no central governing body in the healthcare delivery system. 

The healthcare delivery scheme as well has other characteristics that differentiate it from other systems. To begin with, the system is massive with very high employment level as compared to other developed countries. Several organizations and individuals are involved in the health care ranging from suppliers, research institutions, and insurers to health workers. The vast numbers of health care providers work in well-organized settings including offices for medical practitioners. The medical staff is also offered residential facilities around the health care institutions.
