For your homework assignment for week 1 prepare an essay
that answers the following questions:
1. A decade ago the idea that medical procedures might move
offshore was unthinkable. Today it is a
reality. What trends have facilitated
this process? Is the globalization of
health care good or bad for the American economy?
2. Is the globalization of health care good or bad for
patients? Who might benefit from the globalization of health care? Who might lose?
3. How might a universal health insurance program change the
current trends in the health care industry?
In your opinion, are programs like that offered by Aetna to have surgery
conducted in another country truly viable?

it needs to have a cover page, and introduction, conclusions and a list of
works cited. The essay should have a minimum of two pages of content (i.e., not
including the cover page and list of works cited/references).
