, Abstract
Healthcare systems around the globe have undergone significant changes during the past few
decades. Current research has presented a comparative analysis of the health care systems of
the US and England. It has been found that the British healthcare system is better than that of
America in every respect. The present study has compared different healthcare designs of US
health care system and British NHS. Both healthcare systems neither have common
institutional design or policy history; nor a common set of values of their foundations. The
most significant different is that the health care system in the UK is market oriented, while
that of the US is governed by the public sector.
