American Health Care
Section Info:
Title: American Health Care System: Crisis and Reform. This section is for Chancellor's Scholars only; others may only enroll with the permission of the instructor and the Director of the Campus Honors Program. ... The American health care system is crisis and is one of the most important issues facing the country. This course focuses on the problems and issues which face the American health care system. We will explore bio-ethical and public policy problems. After a brief introduction which covers the historical development of the structure and financing of the current health care system, the class will focus on the following issues: should health care be considered a "legal right" in this country, can the rising cost of health care be brought under control, how do we, as a society, respond to the problem of 47 million Americans who are currently uninsured, should the United States adopt a system of universal health care coverage in the same way that England, Germany, and Canada have, what has been the impact of managed care on the American helath care system, should health insurance be mandatory in the same way that auto insurance is in most states, what will be the impact of the new Medicare reforms, and what are the prospects of health care reform in the future? In addition, we discuss critical ethical dilemmas including: the development of human gene therapy, legalization of human cloning, and the legalization of physician-assisted suicide. Students will be asked to prepare two "policy analysis" papers for policy issues disucssed in the class. As a final project students will prepare a "briefing book," give testimony at a mock congressional hearing, and take on the role of members of a congressional committee hearing testimony. Guest lectures will be made by policy makers and scholars who have expertise in the area we are discussing. No knowledge of political sicence, economics, or sociology is required.
