Healthcare reform is back on the political agenda in Washington and in California. In this course leading health policy researchers at the UCSF Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies will serve as guides to health reform. What’s wrong with healthcare? How can we fix x it? How might we get care and pay for it in a reformed system? And can healthcare reform really make us more healthy? No one can predict which side will win the health reform battle, but this course will help understand what’s at stake.
