摘要:A comparison of various health statistics among Sweden, The United States of America, and United Kingdom reveals that the U.S. is in an inferior situation. This is traced to those acute and communicable diseases which could very easily be prevented. However medical care services require money and this money due to the nature of health care system in the U.S. has to come from the patients. While the whites can afford the astronomical medical bills, the non-whites can not and this is very vividly reflected in the statistics. On the other hand, the impact of poverty on statistic could have been much smaller if the medical care would have been included, at least partially, within the governmental responsibilities like Sweden and United Kingdom.
