Economic Policies for Health Promotion, Wellness, and Prevention

In the United States, the health care system emphasizes health promotion, wellness, and prevention as a strategy to improve population health and lower per capita spending. Around the world, however, health care systems vary considerably in terms of cost, quality, and provisions.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Analyze how you might implement the policies from the country you selected in the United States (macro) and your own state (micro).

Evaluate the influence of U.S. market conditions on the provision of health care. Note: If you are an international student, reflect on how you might implement the policies from the country you selected into your own country and/or region.
