Description
Summary:INTRODUCTION: The World Health Organization (WHO) addressed „RIGHT TO HEALTH" in 2013 as a „fundamental right of every human being". Globalization has changed how we interact in the global community. METHODS: There is no single, uniform and coordinated system because of fragmented markets and differences and variations among individual states. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) debate is still a controversial topic. RESULTS: Major global actors should link together, including public - private sector partnerships. Public health should be in the interest of the society. CONCLUSION: The situation of immigrants calls for a global action plan. Access to health is a global issue. Promoting access to health for all requires Global Policies. There is a need for conceptual framework while recognizing public health risks.
