It is evident that the federal government of the U.S. has no provisions for universal access to health care, contrary to the Canadian health care plans whereby the Canadian government assures its citizens of universal access to health care and associated facilities. Although access to health care system in both countries is still problematic,…

    ‘Comprehensive, universal and free, from cradle to grave’ was the mission statement of the National Health Services, United Kingdom, when it was established in 1948.
