The key economic goals of public and private health insurance plans differ in several ways. Public plans, which are run by the government, aim to provide universal coverage and access to health care services at an affordable cost.

They emphasize preventative measures such as primary care screenings and vaccinations while also providing financial support for those who cannot afford traditional health insurance or out-of-pocket costs associated with medical care. Private plans, on the other hand, focus on providing comprehensive coverage but may not offer universal access due to their higher costs.

These types of plans typically have higher deductibles and co-pays than public plans as well as a wider range of covered services including specialist visits and elective procedures. Additionally, private plans tend to be more flexible when it comes to provider selection allowing customers greater freedom in deciding which doctor they see for their healthcare needs.
