Publicly funded medicine
Publicly funded medicine is a healthcare system that is financed entirely or in majority part by government funds (taxes or quasi-taxes). Publicly funded medicine is often referred to as "socialized medicine" or "nationalized medicine" by its opponents, whereas supporters of this approach tend to use the terms "universal healthcare", "single payer healthcare", or National Health Services. It is seen as a key part of a welfare state (see Welfare State for an interpretation in UK terms).
