A health care system is the organization by which health care is provided.

Although some view health care from an economic perspective as being no different from other products or services, others believe it has many characteristics that encourage government intervention or regulation:

  • The provision of critical health care treatment is often regarded as a basic human right, regardless of whether the individual has the means to pay—some treatments cost more than a typical family's life savings.
  • Health care professionals are bound by law and their oaths of service to provide lifesaving treatment.
  • Health care professionals are monopolists in various respects: surgery, gynecology, prescribing, etc.
  • Consumers often lack the information or understanding to be able to choose rationally between competing health care providers when they need treatment, particularly in the event of the need of urgent or emergency treatment.
