| The
New Politics of American Health Care
In the last two decades, healthcare has become a new issue in American politics. But the problem of healthcare reform is not new. This presentation will detail what has changed in recent politics, clarify why reform remains elusive, and address what we can expect from the parties and candidates in the future. For example, Will American health care make a difference in this election? How do the candidates differ in their views of the American health care system? Is there a “Republican” or “Democratic” perspective on health care? Does the health care system work better for some American citizens that for others, and does this make a difference when people are deciding how to vote? October 29, 2004 |
