 * Name of article: Healthcare in Costa Rica
 * I felt this was the only article that truly spoke to my area of work and upon researching health rights in Costa Rica. It consisted of updated information relevant to the article topic on health services and was overall a good reflection of appropriate, reliable sources.

Tone and Balance

Sources and References
The facts in the article backed up by current and reliable secondary sources including renowned public health journals. All links work.

Overall impressions
It is an overall well-developed, well-balanced article with clear information. It has strengths in its description of the public and private health care systems. It covered all the main aspects of the topic, but
