Health Insurance vs Healthcare

Maybe the US needs to reframe how it thinks about providing healthcare for its citizens.

Having lived in the US for many years and now another 20 years in Israel I have a perspective on the differences in how healthcare is viewed in both countries. I now believe that it’s important to view healthcare as a service that the government should provide or pay for rather than as insurance one needs to purchase in case something goes wrong.
