2.Why does the “vulnerable population” in the U.S. continue to grow?What characteristics do personsbelonging to this category of need have in common? Pick three separate groups, highlighting their particular set of problems.Name and explain three kinds of government solutions which have been established to help vulnerable populations in the U.S..

3.Recent data show that Americans consume, on average, more than three times the recommended level of sodium per day in their food and beverages.High salt intake contributes to high blood pressure and its complications—stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure, and kidney failure. In fact, thousands of lives could be saved if sodium consumption could be lowered in people with hypertension (high blood pressure). Compare and contrast (highlight similarities and differences) between how a health care provider like a Kishwaukee hospital doctor (part of Northwestern Medicine) might address this problem in their patient population using the medical model versus how a public health official would address this same problem using the population health model (three comparison-contrast examples required).

4. Although the United States spends more money per capita on health care than any other country, its performance is relatively poor by comparison. How can ideas such as the “Triple Aim Initiative” or “patient centeredness” help to improve performance in the U.S. health care system?
