Examine policy issues that surround public and private healthcare.

your hospital would like to help the community address the opioid crisis
affecting the community and region and explain how the community could
help. Government intervention is based on the special interest or public
interest theories. The public interest theory focuses on efficiency in
the market and the special interest theory levels the playing field in
the legislative marketplace.
