What healthcare system do you favorite?

Public: Government funds a baseline of care to all

66

Insurance Mandate: Everyone has to get insurance

2

Private: Government plays minimal role in health

39

These are the top 37 countries with the best healthcare systems in the world according to the World Health Organization (United Nations). I cut out the bottom countries, but just as a reference, they're nearly all 'private' systems. And if you're curious, Obamacare goes off an 'insurance mandate' system hence the giant arrow in the picture. You can find all this information on the internet, I just put the pieces together for this table. What do you think is the best way for a country to provide healthcare?

    A private system without an insurance mandate and heavy subsidies leaves the poor and sick uninsurable. But, provided it regulates the price of healthcare (and does the above, obviously), it can be acceptable. I'd still prefer a single-payer system, though, to avoid the possibility of an uninsured gap and the ensuing inequality arising from a class of people being (further) discouraged from seeking preventative care.
