In your comments on your group members posts, expand on the information there. What are the similarities and differences between the United States and these other countries?

First, select another country. It can be any nation, anywhere. Your book may mention some countries, either in this chapter or in other chapters, that you could choose from. Using the internet or other search strategies, find information about the government-sponsored programs and services that this country provides for its senior citizens. Possible programs and services include but aren’t limited to financial support, nutritional programs, health insurance, family leave time for caregivers, transportation services, health care, and activities for senior citizens.

Next, look for information about similar programs and services in the United States. Possible sources of information are:

Federal government programs for seniors
Your guide to public benefits
Programs for seniors
Medicaid
Medicare
You may also want to try other search topics on more specific issues or in specific states within the U.S.

In your initial post, summarize your findings in your own words. Dont forget to provide the source(s) of your information.
