Think of an issue that has both current and future implications.

For example, in your Learning Resources this week, you may have read an article in Modern Healthcare, which outlines plans the CMS Innovation Center has for testing a next generation Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) model in 2016. In this model, “patients will be able to voluntarily enroll in accountable care and in exchange, have their co-pays reduced or eliminated for some services, such as primary-care visits” (Evans, 2015). This articles offers a good example of current trends affecting relevant health care issues such as cost and access to care.
