The issue of health care reform almost needs no introduction. For the last twenty years it has been a simmering national discussion involving every facet of the American (and international) economy and health care delivery system. With the 2008 presidential election and recent state forays into health care reform, the issue is once again at the center of national debate.
We will start with an initial session that will provide foundation and background and focus on the upcoming Presidential election. Successive sessions will feature nationally-known speakers and panels including policymakers and others at the center of the debate both nationally and at the state level. Students will be provided background materials before each session and will be required to submit a one-page response paper after each session.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: Attendance at all sessions is required
COURSE REQUIREMENT: Nine one-page response papers
