Abstract:
The Bismarck model is a great model that has been used in other countries as a reference. It provides coverage for all, and it is a more-simple model than the American healthcare system. Coverage is required regardless of someone's income, and it has a higher life expectancy because of the early preventative care provided. The Bismarck model was implemented in 1875 and has worked for Germany and Japan. San Diego County would benefit from this Bismarck model because it has proven to have positive outcomes for its citizens. The objective of this paper is to implement the Bismarck model in San Diego County.
