Hi @osu-bd!
I would say there are many pros the the current healthcare system. First of all, hospital visits are often quicker than those found in places where universal systems are in place. I say this with the experience of utilizing the Indian hospitals around where I grew up. My family never had to pay for visits there but, no matter the reason for the visit, it was always a 4+ hour process. Recently my family has the financial means to utilize local physicians and doctor's visits rarely take longer than an hour and its pretty sweet compared to the wait we had grown accustomed to.
