The Research Writing Assignments are comprised of the following 3 sections: BE SURE TO ADD ABSTRACT

Part 1–: A description of the U.S. health care system using parameters that you will also use to compare your chosen country’s health care system. Support your description using current research or data (from literature) on the topic. Use at least 3 articles selected from recent (within the last five years) peer-reviewed journals or scientific publications (you may, in addition, select news articles from periodicals) (2 pages).

Part 2 : A description of your chosen country’s health care system using parameters that you chose and used to describe the U.S. health care system. Support your description using current research or data (from literature) on the topic. Use at least 3 articles selected from recent (within the last five years) peer-reviewed journals or scientific publications (you may, in addition, select news articles from periodicals) (2 pages).

Part 3 – Due 11/29: A comparison which contrasts and compares the US health care system with the country you have chosen. As you describe the most important aspects of each country’s system, be sure to give discrete examples, facts and statistics, impacts and/or outcomes to illustrate the similarities and the differences. Use the same parameters as detailed in Sections 1 and 2 above.

Be sure to describe challenges that each system experiences, and detail efforts to address those challenges. Are there implications that can be drawn from this comparison that could lead to improvements for one or the other, or for both countries? (2 pages).
