HCS 440 Week 2 Health Care Reform Project: Part I

The Health Care Reform Project consists of three parts that you will complete in Week Two, Three, and Five. Each part builds upon the last portion completed.

Select a current health care economic issue, such as managed care, health care spending, prescription drugs, the influence of current legislation on health care, medical care for an aging population, or the influence of illegal immigrants on health care economics in the United States.  Please select a narrow topic and please make sure it is a health care issue.  For example, prescription drugs by itself is not a health care problem.  You need to narrow the topic to perhaps: drug shortages, the rising cost of prescription drugs, or drug abuse.

Perform a literature search on the issue. Find at least three articles and summarize each article in 175 to 300 words.

Total Words  for this paper should be between 700 and 1200 words.
