How Healthcare Policies Affect Access And Quality Of Care

This thesis will outline healthcare systems in the United States, Canada, and Europe in order to understand how the policies of each system affect access to care and quality of care. The four policies outlined in this thesis include Social Health Insurance, Statutory Health Insurance, National Healthcare System, and National Health Insurance. This work attempts to summarize each healthcare system and the issues they face related to access and quality, in hopes of comparing the systems to learn from the strengths and weaknesses of each coverage model, and applying these findings to the United States.
