Proposal for US Health Care System
Proposals for US Health Care System will now be an individual, written-only assignment.
As a public health professional, it is important to convey evidence-based public health information so that the public will be properly informed on the myths and realities of public health/healthcare issues and the US healthcare system. You are learning about the US Health Care System. You can see what works and doesnt work so well. You are now in charge of creating your own US Health Care System that will address at least one failure of the current system. Similarly to all presidential candidates, you must convince the public of why they should support your system. This is your chance to create your own system.
