My idea is that by making health care an international concern and having an international organization be in charge of health care worldwide, you would have a more effective, unified system of health care than having it run on the national level.

With one worldwide system, research and development would even out as well and become unified, concentrating resources and leveling out education standards.

To pay for the expansion that an international system would require, I suggest internationalizing (owned by the world, not a nation) the top pharmaceutical corporations. With the profits from that, we could afford an expansion and provide a means of resources for an international health care system. The United Nations would technically own these corporations, or some other international organization that would take on this project, like the WHO for example.

To pay for the continuance and maintenance of the system, I would suggest having member nations sign an accord that starts a nations membership in the organization. When a nation signs, they continue to pay the same amount for health as they did at the time of signing. Then every nation agrees on a minimum needed from each nations GDP (with incentives to increase it). Thus each nation would be paying a minimum level associated with its wealth.

This would help foster positive globalization by encouraging nations to develop their health care systems – less wealthy nations get a helping hand in developing and maintaining their health system, and it boosts productivity by providing more stable careers and industries, thus stabilizes some amount of consumer spending – those with jobs in a larger health care system would be paid the same wages as everyone else in the world, based on the value of their nations currency.

I believe you would see a marked improvement amongst nations towards one another and a reduction in pollution – it would be in no one’s interest to be a member of this system and harm another nations’ citizens, and it would be an incentive to reduce pollution and care about the pollution in another country because pollution is a leading cause of health problems worldwide, and costs the world billions upon billions.
