The debate over private versus public provision of healthcare and human services goes back almost to the founding of this nation. In this forum, discuss how you, as a critical thinking professional in the health and human services, view your potential for transforming this profession. Specifically, discuss the actions that you feel you can take to help make the field a more productive, responsive setting for all people, including (and especially) older adults, those living with chronic illness, and/or people with disabilities. In your replies, try to avoid generalizations and speak as an expert on your own personal and professional experiences.
