Assignment Instructions
writing assignment, to compare and contrast the healthcare systems of United states of America and United Kingdom that offer different versions of the three types discussed in this module 1) the consumer sovereignty model, 2) the social insurance model, or 3) the national health services model.
In this assignment, you'll be expected to:
Choose two countries to compare and contrast.
Identify and describe which model of healthcare system that each country uses to deliver healthcare to its citizens.
Describe at least two main strengths from the particular type of system that each country offers. (You'll need to back this up with data, so read all directions before choosing.)
Describe at least two main weaknesses from the particular type of system that each country offers. (You'll need to back this up with data, so read all directions before choosing.)
Use at least one real-world data point that supports your discussion of each strength and each weakness. Maybe it's a spending data point, or maybe it's a quality of life data point.
The data may support the argument, or the data may contradict the argument. Neither outcome is necessarily wrong. Just discuss what reasons you think may explain the result.
Be sure to collect at least four different pieces of data for each country (one data point per country for each strength or weakness comparison that you make).
Use the data discussion in Module Seven as your guide on how to pick out the data to support your argument (no need for multiple years of data-just use data for a single year to make each comparison).
Online sources for easy access to country-specific health data are included following these instructions.
Be sure to cite all of your sources carefully.
Be concise in your discussions (that means be complete but not too wordy). Stay focused on fulfilling only these requirements.
You can use any reputable source for data on healthcare systems from countries around the world.
