PST 395-01 - Applied Policy Analysis4 credits
US health care policy. This course will apply theories and methods of policy studies to evaluating one overarching policy problem: the lack of universal health care in the United States. With a focus on the evolving institutional context of this problem and its possible solutions, we will examine four major historical junctures during which meaningful reforms were proposed: immediately after World War II under President Truman, the mid-1960s under President Johnson, the early 1990s under President Clinton and the late 2000s under President Obama. These historical case studies will provide the foundations for a final project in which each student will propose and assess a new policy that moves the US closer to the goal of universal coverage. Prerequisite: PST 220, POL 220, or ECN 220. LEAVITT
