Honesty In The US Healthcare System

Improved Essays
"I swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth"
Before starting the assessment, I want to say that it will be completely honesty. As an international student in the program who is not familiar with the US constitution, I really kept the Law course at the end of my program to learn more information about the US healthcare system before taking it; however, I enjoyed the effective way of teaching to engage students during the semester. The class is very informative, organized and interesting; it motivates students, especially those who speak other languages from different countries, to read and learn more about the US healthcare Laws.
In Healthcare Law class, I have learned various cases that are related to healthcare field
