Week 1 Discussion 1

Discuss your position regarding access to and coverage for health care. Are we obligated to
provide access to and coverage for health care for all Americans as an entitlement (a
right)? Or should health care be considered a commodity that is subject to the influences
of economic, social, and market demand (supply and demand)? Be sure to include the
rationale for your position in your discussion.

Week 1 Discussion 2

are barriers? Support your opinion with a rationale or example.
