In your initial post to this discussion topic, you should create a substantive response to the following questions:
1. Why is prevention of illness important to individuals, communities and the health care system in general?
2. Identify and define the three levels of prevention and provide an example of each.
3. Provide an example of a health prevention policy.
4. What is long term care? How is it financed and why is it important to assure sound health policies in that area?
Each initial response should exhibit careful thought and logical reasoning as well as provide evidence for your position.
