Understanding Stakeholders

The readings these last several weeks highlighted the relationship between public and private insurance as well as among the branches of the government. These components and their associated stakeholders are part of a large system. Consider the U.S. healthcare "system." At the strategic level (macro level), identify the stakeholders (including private and public entities) and their competing objectives. Be sure to include employers, employees, the government branches, and the private insurers.

Prepare your assignment as an essay addressing the connection and competing areas of concern with each stakeholder. At a minimum, identify six major stakeholders and provide at least one paragraph discussing the prevailing objectives for each one.

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the title or references pages and conform to APA Requirements.
