Healthcare system in the United States

system. The insured citizens are covered by both private and public health insurance in which
private insurance plans covers most of the part. The programs funded by the government such
as Medicare and Medicaid provide assistance to some of the vulnerable groups. The cultural
difference and inequality among various population groups create huge problems for
healthcare professionals.
