main objectives of a health delivery system DISCUSSION #1

First, what are the 2 main objectives of a health delivery system? Next, what are the 10 characteristics of the U.S. health care system? What is the purpose of the systems framework? Name and define the main elements of the systems framework.

As we all know, the U.S. health care system is complex. This is largely due to our non-universal system, which has led to continual efforts to make health care affordable and accessible to all citizens. The tangled web of the U.S. health care delivery system consists of various subsystems that are geared toward certain populations i.e. the military. Then, there is also the matter of private versus government aided insurance. Access to quality, affordable health care are the objectives of a health care delivery system. In the U.S., having insurance is the primary way to obtain even the most basic health care. This is one of the main characteristics (and primary concerns) of our health care system. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 was enacted in attempt to improve access to health insurance, but the issue remains for many (Shi & Singh, 2017, p.1).
