1. In less than 300 words explain the United States health care system to someone from another country.  Consider what is important for that person to know. Obviously with only 300 words you will have to write about concepts and cannot get too specific.

2. You have studied changes in the health care environment in the past twenty years.  What trends do you foresee in the next ten years?  Keep in mind that even the "experts" can't predict the future. Specifically, list five major trends or changes in health care. Use information that you have learned in this course to present logical arguments to support your ideas. Two or three paragraphs on each trend should be sufficient to express your ideas. Please cover a variety of areas in health care.
