Having the opportunity to present on a subject that has interested me for awhile was a real pleasure. The presentation was made by our group about the differences between U.S. healthcare and European health care. My research about the topic led me to discover many things that stood out to me, and there were also many things that I learned during my research. For example, I did not know millions of Americans are uninsured and cannot afford treatment for their health problems. In class, I presented the future of the issue of U.S. and Europe. There were some issues that I knew from previous experience, but there were others that were new to me. As an example, rising health care costs were already known to me, but I didn’t realize so many infectious diseases were reemerging. Additionally, I was aware that there are always new technologies and new healthcare plans coming out, but I did not know much about them, and this presentation was a great opportunity for me to learn more. In terms of health care, the U.S. and Europe have some significant differences, but the overall trend for the future trend was very similar.
