WEEK 7 INSTRUCTOR INSIGHTS REQUIRED

Class, this week’s topic is one of the most important that we will discuss during this entire course–HEALTHCARE. At some point in our lives we will need some form of health care. In developed countries, there is access to health care for everyone–of course the level of care does depend on whether you have health insurance or enough money to cover health care expenses. In many developing countries such as India, people with money have access to health care much more readily than poor people. In addition, health care in India is not as tightly regulated in many areas, leaving the poor to deal with inadequate or even predatory health care “professionals.” Please review and post your thoughts about this very important topic.
