1. Go to the Health News Review web site: https://www.healthnewsreview.org/ and see what sort of place this is. What is the purpose of this group? (Check out the site here for medical news: "News sites/blogs we like.) Assignment: Go to "story reviews". Choose any story and write a detailed summary/review of what you find. Explain the news story and Health News Review analysis of the story.
2. Personal stories or experiences with the healthcare system can be frustrating and upsetting. Some people also have very positive and loving experiences with the US system and the providers in this system. If you wish, write your personal experience. But remember, this is a university class, so you must also relate how your personal experience relates to the bigger picture, that is the US healthcare system. For example: a student in a car accident may tell the trauma of the event, but then also explain how the EMS system works or how insurance helped/did-not-help.
Current Event: write another current event article using the format described for current event articles on the syllabus.

Watch any of these and write up a review by answering the following questions: What is the health issue that is being described or addressed?
