Healthcare in the United States

Healthcare in the United States is largely given by private sector healthcare comapnies, and paid for by a mix of public programs, private insurance, and out-of-pocket payments. The U.S. is the only developed country without a system of universal healthcare, and a significant part of its population does not have health insurance.[1][2][3]

The United States spends more on healthcare than any other country.[4] Coverage is different across the population, with some groups, such as the elderly and low-income individuals, receiving more options for care through government programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.
