This course investigates domestic and global health policy issues. We will survey health care and health systems, focusing on health care spending, insurance, and health outcomes. Students will also examine ethical dilemmas and debates within health policy. We will ask what role health policy can play in addressing health disparities. Two questions infuse our deliberations: what can the government do to shape the health of individuals and what should it do? Formerly GOV 410. Same as PBH 380 .
