- In the private model, the rights of access are subject to contractual obligations between an insurer and an insurance company.
- Publicly funded healthcare systems are usually financed in one of two ways: through taxation or via compulsory national health insurance.

- Health insurance is a type of insurance whereby the insurer pays the medical costs of the insured if the insured becomes sick due to covered causes or accidents.
- Two types of health insurance have developed in modern society: private health insurance (or free-market) models and publicly funded health insurance models.
- The benefits and drawbacks of each of these models are discussed in this and the following section.
- Advocates of the private model argue that this approach to health care has the following benefits:
- Most experts believe that significant market failure occurs in health markets, thereby leading free market insurance models to operate inefficiently.
-
- Due to population growth and the proliferation of compulsory education, UNESCO has calculated that in the next 30 years, more people will receive formal education than in any prior period of human history.
- Indigenous education refers to the inclusion of indigenous knowledge, models, methods, and content within formal and non-formal educational systems.
-
- Having selected a number of partitions, it is useful to re-run the algorithm a number of times to insure that a global, rather than local minimum has been found.
- Figure 14.3 summarizes the "badness of fit" of the models.

- Some sociologists, however, would argue that institutionalized racism persists, especially since African Americans still fair poorly in terms of employment, insurance coverage, and incarceration, as well as in the areas of economics, health, and education.
- Nevertheless, despite a difficult history, Asian Americans have earned the positive stereotype of the model minority.
- The model minority stereotype is applied to a minority group that is seen as reaching significant educational, professional, and socioeconomic levels without challenging the existing establishment.
- By contrast, Cuban Americans are often seen as a model minority group within the larger Hispanic group.
- As with Asian Americans, however, being a model minority can mask the issue of powerlessness that these minority groups face in U.S. society.
-
- Lack of insurance coverage.
- Without health insurance, patients are more likely to postpone medical care, more likely to go without needed medical care, and more likely to go without prescription medicines.
- Minority groups in the United States lack insurance coverage at higher rates than members of dominant groups.
- Racial and ethnic minorities are more likely to be enrolled in health insurance plans which place limits on covered services and offer a limited number of health care providers.
- The differential and unequal treatment of the rich and poor follows the gap between the rich and the poor: From 1966 to 1980, socioeconomic disparities declined in tandem with a decline in mortality rates, but the disparity has since increased as income stratification has, and as our healthcare model has become mostly private, for profit, and insurance based.
-

- Socialists inspired by the Soviet model of economic development have advocated the creation of centrally planned economies directed by a state that owns all the means of production.
- Others, including Yugoslavian, Hungarian, German and Chinese Communists in the 1970s and 1980s, instituted various forms of market socialism, combining co-operative and state ownership models with the free market exchange and free price system (but not free prices for the means of production).
- Criticisms of socialism range from claims that socialist economic and political models are inefficient or incompatible with civil liberties to condemnation of specific socialist states.
-
- The first, the medical model, focuses on the eradication of illness through diagnosis and effective treatment.
- The second, the social model, focuses on changes that can be made in society and in people's own lifestyles to make the population healthier.
- In countries where healthcare is state-funded or funded by medical insurance, alternative therapies are often not covered, and must be paid for by the patient.
- Note, this is the same issue that faces the many people unable to acquire health insurance throughout the world.
