Abstract
I first compared the healthcare strategies of the United States and other countries. The countries I looked at are Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. I found information on this objective through the Internet and Wolfgram Memorial library. The second objective I looked at our healthcare results compared to Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. The results I researched are life expectancy at birth, life expectancy at the age of 65 and infant morality. I found the information on the U.S. Census Bureau web site. The third and final objective I identified the problems of the rising expenditures and how to correct them so everyone can be insured. I found the information on the Internet, the medical practice web site and Jona's medical journal, which I located through Medline’s database and retrieved it in Wolfgram Memorial library.
