Provide your thoughts on the following, KNOWING that The Federal Trade Commission(Links to an external site.) requires that organizations must advertise truthfully.

• Based solely on advertising (TV, brochures, radio, etc), what is the impression that you have of one or more of your local health care organizations or facilities or care providers? Would it motivate you to use them for your health care? (This could be a hospital, physician group, nursing home, hospice, pharmacy, urgent care, health department.) Why does this promote competition? Would health care organizations be better or worse off if the Federal Trade Commission did not regulate this advertising and allowed "buyer beware"

2. Consumers generally favor direct-to-consumer advertising, and healthcare professionals generally oppose it. Does this difference in attitudes make sense? Offer examples and a minimum of two (2) resources to support your statements.
