In conclusion, despite of the differences in the health care systems of these three different
countries, it is very obvious that they do their very best to make their country a better place for
its individuals. These countries differ in so many ways, they differ in their GDP or GNP,
population, or even in their Per Capita GDP/GNP but still share the same burden, the burden of
making their health care systems efficient and justifiable for their own constituents.
