It is well-known that there are two sectors of economy – the private sector and the public sector. The difference between them is quite obvious. The private sector is the part of a country's economy that consists of privately owned enterprises. The public sector is the part of an economy that consists of state-owned institutions, including nationalized industries and services provided by local authorities. The public sector usually deals with the activities that demand too much capital and are not very profitable, but that are very significant for population, or for the government. So, here one can mention such activities as building roads, maintaining the army, railroads, transportation. The private service produces goods and services and its main aim is to get profit. So, here we cam name such profitable activities as running a shop, a cinema, a restaurant, a museum, a park, maintaining television and telecommunications. One of the most dubious questions concerning private and public sectors of economy is “should health care be in the private or in the public sector?” If it is in the public one, it's free, if it's in the private sector – you'll have to pay for medical service. And here we come across certain controversial question – which variant is the best? There exists an opinion, that private health care is much better than public one, because if you want to get profit, you must be attractive for your clients and that's why you have to be helpful and reliable. That's why people tend to think that private medicine is safer and more effective. And it seems to be logical. But private health care will be unaffordable for poor people because it' too expensive for them. So, does it mean that they will get no medical help? Does it mean that health is only for those who have enough money for it? As you know, today there exist two kinds of medical service in our country – the public and the private ones. Can they exist together for a long period of time or may be soon one of them will oust out another one? And how will it influence the quality of medical service?
