universal care

Coverage for all

Universal care is a system ensuring all people have access to essential services—most often healthcare—regardless of ability to pay.

The term appears frequently in political debates: Universal care would eliminate medical bankruptcies.

Also called universal coverage when emphasizing the scope of who's included rather than the services provided.
