US Healthcare Policy and Debates
Using the resources provided, resources from class on health care (e.g., other readings, the documentary Unnatural Causes: Place Matters), and considering your values about healthcare and equity, argue why you think one of these healthcare approaches is best.
1. In your paper, provide enough information about the approach you have chosen so that readers become knowledgeable about it.
2. Discuss why you believe this approach is most equitable. For example, what will it do to create health equity? Consider this in terms of access and affordability as well as the long-term impacts of healthcare for life trajectories. What inequities will this approach resolve?
3. Discuss the strengths and limitations/challenges of this approach and provide some ideas for how challenges could be addressed. For example, are challenges about public (mis) perceptions? If so, what can be done to overcome this? In your discussion of these pros and cons, be sure to present a synthesized argument. Do not simply parrot one of the readings.
4. Provide a brief conclusion to bring closure to your argument and paper.
