In this discussion you are to compare and contrast at least two other countries regarding structure or outcomes in their healthcare systems, particularly
those from other OECD nations. You will want to access the Readings and Materials page for review, and you should use data from these websites and the
required materials for information on healthcare in other countries. These are linked here again for your consideration:

How does the quality of the U.S. health system compare to other countries?

Briefly, which two countries’ healthcare systems did you choose to investigate and why?
Drawing on The Commonwealth Fund’s Country Profiles and the Kurani & Wagner analysis for the Kaiser Family Foundation, briefly summarize the healthcare
system in each country as well as some health measure statistics/outcomes you found most compelling in them.
What might account for any differences you found in your selected countries (and implicitly back to the US as well)?
Finally, how has your review of these other countries affected your own views of the US healthcare system? For example, is there any structure, practice or
outcome that the US would benefit from adopting?
