In your opinion, what contemporary medical issue needs to be addressed in the U.S. healthcare system and why?


ok so i need help
at first i interpreted this as "what do you see as the biggest problem in health care" and was going to write about the whole insurance and managed care thing

but now that i look at it it could be interpreted as "what do you see as the biggest problem in MEDICINE" and I guess you can pick a disease, like AIDS for example

so how would you interpret this question

i interpreted it the first way you mentioned. i think if you write a good essay, either way would be ok, but the wording certainly leans toward your first impression.

I think either one is fine. You can make compelling reasons for both managed care and a certain disease as the biggest issue facing US healthcare system.

have fun writing the essay.

what? that's such an easy question. it's so open-ended. you could essentially talk about anything.

That's the thing. I hate when you can write about anything. I rather they give me a topic and I just focus on that particular topic.
