I need some help with my final project. I have to develop a unique proposal that describes a new health care system. Consider the current U.S. health care system's strengths, weakness, and challenges. Also, o What is your vision for the new health care system?

o Who benefits most from this new system?
o Are there any populations that would be disadvantaged by this new system? If so, who?
o What current challenges would be solved by implementing your new proposal?
o Would the proposed system create any new problems?
I am total clueless.

Here are sites about national health care, Senator Obama's and Senator McCain's health care plans.

To me this a classic SWC analysis. Start off by drawing a table that is two columns by three rows on a big sheet of paper (I use flip chart paper).

The three rows are strengths, weakness, and challenges. In the left hand column write in the corresponding boxes what you think the SWCs are for the current system. Easier if you do this with a couple of friends. There will be a number of entries in each box.

Then use the right hand column to design your new system, based on the SWCs of the current system, take into account the questions.

At the end you can repeat the SWC process with your new system. (This will tick the reflection box if your project is assessed!).

Hope this helps. Good luck.
SWC = ?
Oh and don't forget to look at information on alternative health care systems, e.g. English National health Service ((Broken Link Removed) or the Australian Medicare ((Broken Link Removed)
SWC = strengths, weakness, and challenges.
Thanks. Great Idea
