? Describe (note: describe, do not just list) the major ways that health care delivery is financed in the United States. Based on your readings this week, do you feel that they are sufficient or is there another approach that you think would improve upon them?

? Briefly describe some of the ways in which Oregon has been an innovator in the financing and delivery of Medicaid.

In addition to responding to the discussion prompt, each post should include:

? A description of a key concept covered in the course materials and why it is important

Your post should be between 250-500 words. This equates to approximately one to two pages when double-spaced. Discussions should have a minimum of two references back to the course material and all references must be appropriately cited (APA format) and a reference list provided.
