This document discusses and compares public and private health care. Private health care has more equipped and personalized care with new technology and shorter wait times, but is limited to those with certain insurance and can refuse patients. Public health care cannot turn patients away and is more affordable and free, but has fewer medical supplies and personnel resulting in longer wait times. The document argues that private health care may be more efficient and sustainable than public health care in developing countries.
