Healthcare, Why Should I Care?
Students will take a pre-test about health care (or the teacher can set up a KWL chart with 3 columns labeled “What I Know” (K), “What I Want to Know” (W), and “What I Learned” (L). The teacher will lead a class discussion of each before and after the lesson.) After completing the pre-test or KWL chart, the answers will be reviewed and discussed. They will then watch a video clip about the Health Care Crisis in the U.S. Once they understand the importance, students will read three articles of background information – “HealthCare: What Does It Mean?”, “The History of Health Care”, and “HealthCare, Why Should I Care?” This will prepare them for the activity.

- Explore the concept of health care
- Identify the major characteristics of Medicare, Medicaid and Workmen’s Compensation
