Sleep eluded me the night before as my head was spinning with thoughts of spending the next three weeks flying all the way from Phoenix, Arizona to Santiago, Chile in a small airplane.

U.S. Healthcare Systems The United States has a broad history of diversity and challenges that no other country has faced. One of those challenges has been providing healthcare for its citizens. Healthcare in the United States started out with many religious groups that wanted to help those in need.

Nearly every state in the U.S. has adopted a set of educational standards known as Common Core State Standards, or C.C.S.S. (Shanahan, 2015), put into place in hopes of improving America 's educational system.
