Abstract
This paper deals with a comparative look at how different nations are funding the AIDS epidemic. The United states, Great Britain, and Canada will be compared because
these nations represent examples of varying combinations of state and private funding. Health insurance in the United States is usually provided by private insurers. In recent
years private companies have fallen short of providing coverage, requiring the government to provide funding. Next consider Great Britain which is providing national health insurance to all. With the option of additional, or even
total, coverage from private health insurers. In Canada health insurance is provided only by the government.
Everyone is covered, but heavy taxes and long lines take
their toll in Canada. Section one concludes with a unique
plan combining the best elements from these three nations
while trying to eliminate their short falls in attempting to
provide funding for AIDS treatments.
The second section is an overview of this internship
with the American Medical Association in Chicago. Projects
worked on, different experiences, and general feelings along
with some personal insights. Coming from the Department of
survey Design and Analysis. Realizing that this is only one
department within a large non-profit organization
The final section will attempt to relate work
experience and knowledge gained from this internship to
former class work performed over the last four years, future
goals, and ideals. Whether or not this internship has
helped in attaining career goals. What was gained from this
internship. Possible future plans.
