Universal Health Insurance – implies that health insurance for everyone, not just for the ones that can afford it. It would be regulated by the federal government, so that everyone has access to care.
Universal Health Care – government-overseen health care system where medical care has nothing to do with making a profit, and everyone has access to medical attention that they need.
National Health Insurance – Not sure.
Private Health Insurance – is just as we Americans have now. Private insurance companies are like regular businesses that look for profit. Unfortunately, many times vital care is denied…
Government Health Care – this one sounds like military hospitals for soldiers, veterans, and family members.
State Health Care – don’t know this one….
