GOVT 30.14 Health Politics and Policy
Is health care a right? Why does the United States spend more than comparable countries on health care but experience worse outcomes, and also lack universal coverage? How might the health care system be reformed to increase access and quality, and reduce costs? We consider these fundamental questions and explore a range of key issues, including health equity, mental health care, overdiagnosis and overtreatment, drug regulation, state policies, comparative health care systems, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
