FAQ
What are the three types of healthcare systems?
The first system is a more traditional system that gives patients little choice about who they see for treatment. They may go to hospital A for an operation but if not, they might just as well not bother.
The second system is a fee-for-service system where doctors earn money based on how many tests, operations, and drugs they perform. They won't do extra work if they don't get enough money. You will pay twice as much.
The third system uses a capitation system that pays doctors according not to how many procedures they do but what they spend. This encourages doctors use of less expensive treatments, such as talking therapies, instead of surgical procedures.
What does the term "health care" mean?

What does "public health" actually mean?
