The United States has a very different healthcare system that most people do not agree with but has also come a long way. During the 1700s health care was very different. Women performed childbirth at home and the mortality rate was extremely high, especially for children. In the 1900s President Theodore Roosevelt believed that health insurance was vital because having sick and poor people did not make a country strong.
