Strengths And Weaknesses Of Health Care
Strengths & Weakness This class has really opened my eyes to how the health care really works. The health care organizations in the U.S. need to make some adjustments to keep an optimal functioning system. The healthcare system really has changed over the years.

Advances continued apace as Medicaid and private insurance became increasingly comprehensive during the 1970s and 1980s. But to decipher whether the Affordable Care Act is likely to have similar effects, we must dig more deeply into the processes by which medical innovations happen.” Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA is not perfect but it does help a lot of people get what they need from going to see the doctor to having surgery there are people that rely on the government
