The aim of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive health policy analysis through comparative studies of national healthcare systems. This analysis focuses on the various organizational structures, financing mechanisms, and delivery models of healthcare across different countries. By examining the strengths and weaknesses of these systems, this research seeks to identify best practices and areas for improvement in healthcare policy formulation and implementation. The paper begins with an overview of the global healthcare landscape, highlighting key differences in healthcare systems such as those found in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. It then delves into the economic, social, and political factors that influence healthcare policy decisions. The analysis further evaluates the impact of healthcare policies on health outcomes, accessibility, and equity. Finally, the paper proposes recommendations for policymakers to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of national healthcare systems.
