The term health-care is the provision of medical facilities plus the general prevention and management of sickness using paid medical resources.

In most developed nations and many developing nations healthcare is provided to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. This first started in the UK a few years after the end of World War 2 in 1948, and became the first health care service set up and run by a administration.

In Italy, they have a system that works by making everyone pay into a administration funded insurance scheme which The WHO consider the second best health care system in the world. Two other systems like that in Italy, both using the name Medicare, one in Australia and the other in Canada were started between the late 1960’s and the early 1980’s. The main countries that do not support this general health care service are America and South Africa, although they are making reforms to their health service.

In America there are one hundred eighty million Americans who want health care and a recent study showed that it was the number one worry of those seeking employment. The costs of health care in The United States have risen so much that General Motors had considered filing bankruptcy due to the increasing health care costs wearing down its auto manufacturing division. It was only after negotiations with the unions to reduce certain health benefits and the subsequent sell off of its poorly performing finance division that stopped the unthinkable from taking place.

Health care has become an extremely fundamental issue to Americans one which employers must address to a work force which demands better health care benefits. One answer is to this international issue is improve the general health and fitness of individuals generally so that this heavy reliance on medical care can be eased.
