Sample Solution
The national healthcare issue/stressor I selected for analysis is the rising costs of prescription drugs. As health care costs continue to rise, this has put a strain on both patients and providers alike. This has caused people to become less likely to fill their prescriptions due to the high cost or opt out of medications that are necessary for treating medical conditions.
