"I believe that the basic concepts of socialized health care and privatized health care are good by nature and speak to a range of patients. Some of my peers have expressed their love for socialized health care because, although they pay a higher tax rate, they are not caught in an expensive whirlwind when they face illness. On the other hand, privatized health care can offer significantly shorter wait times, which is very important for those with a potentially critical or debilitating illness. I believe that private payors and the public program will be available for many years to come."

Before your medical school interview with Drexel University, research public healthcare programs and private insurers in the United States, and come to your interview prepared to discuss the pros and cons of each. Both are currently active and will likely impact how healthcare coverage for years to come. Be sure to avoid offensive answers as you provide a diplomatic answer that acknowledges both sides without appearing wishy-washy.
