CASE STUDY: UK VS. US Health Care SystemsAuthor:Course:Date: Access Studies indicate that the United Kingdom’s health care system spends $155 billion on 50 million people while the United States’ public private health system spends $1.1 trillion on 80 million people (Rothgang et al., 2010). Out of 300 million Americans, an additional $1.1 trillion is spent publicly on the remaining 220 million people (Rothgang et al., 2010). While numbers indicate that the US spends more money on healthcare, 30 million Americans are uninsured while the UK healthcare system provides quality health care for its entire population on a significantly lower expenditure. Therefore, the UK’s health care system offers better access since no one is left out regardless of variables which affect access in the US such as employment status and income level.
