This question is meant to start a meaningful conversation between yourself and the interview panel. They want to see a bit of your personal opinion, critical thinking skills, and ability to be diplomatic when it comes to hot topics. Avoid any offensive answers. It's best if you can provide a diplomatic answer that nods to both sides without appearing wishy-washy.

"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 it is important to have both options so people can choose."

Before your interview, it is best to research the pros and cons of socialized versus privatized health care, so you understand what both provide. Be sure you are knowledgeable enough on both so you can answer any follow-up questions the interview panel may have.
