Treating individuals versus a population.

    Over the past five weeks, you have read a great deal on how the U.S. health care system and public health somewhat balance the needs of the greater population and the needs of those who are impoverished. In this assignment write a three- to four-page paper that explains your position on the concept. Assess the benefits and drawbacks associated with only focusing on treating individuals versus a population. Assess the benefits and drawbacks associated with struggling to maintain this balance. Close your paper with a brief examination of a foreign country of your choosing and highlighting how they care for those who are less fortunate while still addressing the larger needs of the population.
