Health Care

[Hoopster81]

An essay on one of my medical school apps asks:

Please discuss the most significant issue affecting the future of health care delivery in the country in which you intent to practice medicine (the U.S.).

I believe this issue is clearly the availability of affordable health care, but I am at sort of a loss as to some potential solutions to the dilemma. All that I've got is expansion of Medicare/Medicaid and increased government subsidies for prescription drugs; however, I am fairly ignorant to how health care systems operate in other countries (besides Canada).

Would appreciate any input!
