Health Care Delivery Systems Chapters 1 & 2

Please discuss the following questions.  These questions refer to chapters 1 & 2.  For this first exercise there are 2 questions per chapter.  This does not cover all of the material but will give you a good start.  Think about what is being asked before you decide to answer. Also, go back and reread the material.  These questions are open until Friday 2/25.  Once all responses are received I will print your responses.  If responses are late, no grade. I will post the answers over the weekend.

1.What is the difference between national health insurance (NHI) and national health system (NHS)?

2. What are the 8 characteristics of the U.S. health care system?

3. What are the two major goals of chapter 2?
4. Discuss the definitions of health presented in this chapter in terms of their implications for the health delivery system.
