Are health care and medical care interchangable?
Thanks

To me, not entirely. "Medical care" implies specific medical intervention, involving the prescription of drugs, surgery, hospitalisation etc. "Health care" to me encompasses a more general "health in the community" idea, including preventative measures, check-ups etc.
