State Health Policy: Making (or Breaking) Healthcare

Catalog description

You are now the governor of a major state, and it's your responsibility to build a health reform agenda. What are the major problems in your state? What policy levers are available to you to fix them? What evidence do you need to compare different policies? This course evaluates major trends and changes in state health care policies through the course of seven lectures and three speakers and culminates in a final memo where you propose and justify a specific health policy reform. Course staff are available to support you in contacting and pitching your proposed reform to a relevant policymaker.
