Abstract:
To address the challenges of today’s 3rd party payer healthcare system, we explore its development in the United States and contrast it with that of Europe. The cultural element of American and European healthcare systems will be discussed. The audience will develop the evaluation tools to apply to private free-enterprise versus government based healthcare systems.
