Comparing the Health Care Systems of the United States, France, and Japan (Research Paper Sample)

a few months ago i decided that i was finally going to start researching and writing again. So, i wanted to re-acclimate myself with how to find good scholarly articles for sources, how to write in a professional and academic tone, how to cite references correctly, and most importantly, how to come up with a good concept for research.
I've always been interested several aspects of international health care. Comparing health care systems can be a highly illuminating activity for a variety of reasons.
I was watching the news one night and the newscast was just destroying the u.s. health care system and going on about how the u.s. system is the worst thing ever created.
that was when i got the idea of doing a literature and research review of three of the top health care systems in the world. i chose the u.s., because i'm american and i wanted to learn more about the system. i selected france because i view them as being on the same level as the u.s. in regards to health care and medical science and technology. Finally, I chose japan because i wanted to compare a country that has a vastly different culture than the two others.
japan is very technologically and medically advanced. however, their culture and way of thinking is a lot different than american or french culture. therefore, i wanted to see if the cultural differences had any effect on the comparison of the health care systems.
