Universal healthcare is a system where government ensures all citizens have access to medical care, typically funded through taxes rather than individual insurance premiums. The United States remains the only wealthy developed nation without such a system, instead relying on a mix of private insurance, employer-sponsored coverage, and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. The debate centers on whether government should guarantee coverage as a right, versus maintaining the current market-based approach, with disagreements over cost, quality, and individual choice.
