TASK

The recently-deceased Heiress, Hope T.G. Wells, has left her entire multi-billion dollar estate to the United States government with the sole purpose of improving its healthcare system. In her will, the heiress explicitly requested that the majority of her estate be left to whichever area of the healthcare system is in greatest need.

You have been elected to participate in a study that will examine the structure, organization, and components of the US healthcare system. As a select member of this distinguished research team, you must examine its strengths and weaknesses and identify areas where the heiress' philanthropy will have the greatest impact on the quality of our nation’s healthcare.

What is your passion? Which part of our healthcare system do you feel would benefit most from financial support? In this WebQuest, you and your team members will look at the overall workings of the U.S. healthcare system, and then focus in on an area that interests you. Your quest is to prepare a short presentation that makes a convincing case for where and how the money should be spent, and why it should receive the bulk of this inheritance.
