Assignment:
We have had some really good discussions on the health care system and its reform in our country and in the state of Maryland. This week we will discuss how we compare to other countries that have established universal health care and/or more comprehensive health plans for its citizens.
In the article "Comparing the U.S. and Canadian Health Care Systems", authors conclude that while it is commonly supposed that a single-payer, publicly funded system would deliver better health out-comes and distribute health resources more fairly than a multi-payer system with a large private component, their study does not provide support for this view.
If you believe that a single-payer, publicly funded system would work, provide the support that they did not for this view in your response as to why.
If youbelieve a multi-payer system with a large private component would be best, provide support backing your views as to why.
Also state if there are aspects from the payment system you did not agree with that can be incorporated in the payment system you are supporting to make it more comprehensive.
Question 2 :
In"Explaining High Health Care Spending in the United State..."the article shows what we already know, health care spending in the United States is higher than in any other developed country in the world. The analysis also indicated that the U.S. also under-performs relative to other countries on most dimensions of performance. Please provide two reasons (dimensions of performance where the U.S. under-performs) from the article and explain each in detail based on the article, your own research and your own experiences.
Please ensure your responses are a minimum of 200 wordsand maximum 400 wordsand that you site any references you use.
