You will submit a research paper comparing the United States health care delivery system with that of one other country. Your research paper should include the following:

1. Briefly describe the country that you chose in terms of geography and any important cultural, economic, geographic, or other distinguishing traits that may impact views of health and/or public health.
2. Analyze the following features of the health care delivery system of the selected country:
   • Extent to which prevention services are offered
   • How citizens access services across the spectrum of health care; include any services that are not offered
   • Areas of health disparities and any special/priority populations
   • How services are financed and by whom (government, consumers, insurers, etc.)
   • Predominant health issues for each nation
3. Discuss what the United States is doing well and what lessons we can learn and incorporate from your chosen country.

This is a formal research paper. Your paper must include the following resources: 

• At least three credible Excelsior College Library articles (current, peer reviewed, and directly related to the state/federal reform initiative) 
• At least three credible governmental, policy, or NGO (non-governmental organization) websites.

Your paper should be 6-8 double-spaced pages, not including your cover page, reference page, and any charts you may wish to include. APA formatting is required. Be sure to provide a strong introduction and conclusion to the paper.
