  The Current State of U.S. Health Care  

This article contains ten charts (Figures 1-10) that cover multiple aspects of healthcare. Each of these charts allows you to hover over the image for specific data.

  It is vital to read the narrative around each chart to ensure you understand it. Figure 1 is easy (others, not so much). The cost of healthcare in the U.S. compared to other, like countries, dwarfs them. Hover over the blue bar for the U.S. to see that the health expenditure per capita is $10,348 while the average country spends $5,169.

Analyze the data behind the current state of U.S. healthcare.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

• Read the article and explore each figure (1-10).
• Choose five of the figures that interest you the most.
• Summarize what the data for each of the five figures means (this must be in your own words. There is no copy/pasting).
• How would you use the information from each figure to support change in healthcare? Be specific.
• Create a simple table for this. The table should have five rows (for each of the Figures) and two columns (one for the summary of each Figure and one for the use of information for change)
• Cite any references. Proper grammar, sentence structure, and spelling are required. Use your own words. Copying and pasting are not allowed.
