Examines the impact of governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders on the history of health care policy development in the US. This course challenges students to analyze historical health care laws and any opposition to those laws and policies with respect to the impact on access, cost, quality of care, and ethical issues from the perspectives of different stakeholders. Students design a health care law, delineate the ethical implications of the law and propose an implementation strategy and plan. Implications of healthcare policy, laws, and ethics will be examined through case studies and analyses of real world examples.
