The issue of healthcare has been and will continue to be a hot topic for the foreseeable future. While in some countries, the healthcare system is terrible and people suffer because they can’t afford to get treatment for their illnesses or even going to the doctor, other countries offer terrific care for their citizens.
1. Switzerland
Switzerland has universal care that it offers its citizens. Their healthcare system is regulated by the Swiss Federal Law on Health Insurance. Every citizen is required to have primary health insurance provided by the private sector, regardless of age or state of health.
2. Finland
Finland has a decentralized healthcare system that is publicly-funded. The private sector is quite smaller when compared to the publicly-funded one. The life expectancy can be attributed to the excellent healthcare system that this country has.
3. Sweden
The Swedish healthcare system is also decentralized, and it is funded by the government. The funding comes through taxes. It functions in three levels: local, regional, and national. The only downside is that it costs almost 12% of the country’s GDP each year.
