Navigating the Health System
After reflecting on the health insurance assignment from class, please write a 1,000-word
(double spaced) response to the following question:
Is our current health insurance system efficient and effective? Is it better for consumers to have
numerous options for health insurance, or should the government provide uniform health
insurance for all? If neither sounds appealing, is there a system that could provide both? In
forming your response, be sure to read about health insurance systems in other countries.
