optimal levels of health care. The health care system consists of a network of agencies, facilities,
and providers involved with health care in a specified geographic area. Insurance companies do

emphasis on wellness, rather than illness. Improved insurance payments, decentralized care
centers, and increased numbers of health care givers did not influence an emphasis on wellness.
