Consider the issues with government healthcare programs in financing and administration. Address the following:
- Would the US be able to transit to the British style of national healthcare? Why or why not?
- In comparison to the British system and US system, what would be some of the challenges the US would face in adopting a national healthcare system? Discuss at least three challenges.
