Overview of Healthcare Services
Description
Write a paper and corresponding presentation.
Topic: MACRO Analysis of the US Health Care System
Description: Use you knowledge from HAP 301 to give a macro/top-level review of the US Healthcare system. You can use any sources you want as long as they are legit. You can use the supplied textbook, journal articles, videos (e.g. CMS has a ton that are helpful). Make sure to insert your take on the significance. Note, there isn’t a right or wrong answer. Every penny has two-sides and each of these elements can even be multifaceted. I will not be grading you on your position, I just want to see that you understand the dynamic. For example, about one quarter of all Medicare spending goes toward care for people during their last year of life.
