You are an employee of a think tank in Washington, DC. The director has been asked to testify before a congressional committee on the following question: In reforming the ACA, what lessons should the United States learn from relevant experience abroad? Your job is to write a memorandum that will help the director answer this question. In writing this memo, you should address the following questions:
- How can learning from abroad help policy makers engage in a process of self-examination of health policy at home?
- Compare the NHS and NHI systems.
- What should members of Congress know about China’s problems and aspirations in health policy?
- What lessons from abroad would be most relevant in reforming the U.S. health system?
