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.

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