The United States is currently in the middle of reforming its health care system and in order to understand the importance behind that change it is imperative to look into other health care systems of the world. Comparing and contrasting the U.S. health care system with that of other countries is not an easy task. There is a great deal of information that is not only organized in a number of different ways but also it is used to measure extensive and deviating factors. It is important to note whether or not a system is publically or privately funded, considered successful on the world stage and researching number data to determine outcomes. A healthcare system can be reviewed by many standards. It can be reviewed by its effectiveness and efficiency, its fairness and receptiveness to the expectations of its population. It can be reviewed through its non-discriminatory economic contributions and suitability and lastly, it can be reviewed through its population's overall health.
