Question: Congratulations, you have just been promoted to the Director of the Department of Health and Human Services of the United States! In your new role, your first task upon taking office is to create a new health care system for the entire US. You are charged with developing a plan to provide health care for every American that covers prescription drug coverage, preventive care, maternity care, general every day health care needs chronic illness, catastrophic illness, and long-term care along with all the associated diagnostic testing and treatments.

Your new system can be a combination of any of the current systems, one of the current systems or one of your total imaginations. If you choose an existing one or a combination of them, be sure that you still correct the shortcomings of that system in meeting your objectives. Be sure that your new system is somewhat realistic and address the total health care needs of our Nation. Your paper is to be prepared using APA style (6th edition).
