Health is a term that describes a person’s mental and physical condition. As a more specific definition, health is the state of being free from physical,
dermatologists and mental injury or illness. Managing health on a national scale is one of the most heavily-debated policy issues in many countries. Setting up a functioning health system is a challenge that requires the cooperation of many parties across public and private sectors. The health system of the United States is often criticized for being overly costly and inefficient. The United States has the highest health costs per capita worldwide and still the U.S. lags behind other industrialized countries in terms of health indicators such as life expectancy, infant mortality and health insurance coverage.
