• What      types of health care settings and services might they be exposed to during      this process?
• What      barriers or challenges might they encounter when attempting to access and      pay for health services in these settings?
• How      might the patient's experience differ in health settings with high quality      service vs. low quality service?
• Post      your answer, adding insights based on Jim's experience from the case study      as well as your own personal or professional experiences.
