Wed 3\/29: <\/strong>we finish up the Pox book by looking at chapters 6-8.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Starting the week of April 3, we will examine the past and present of US health care policy … obviously a very timely topic. I’d advise paying more attention to the news about health care policy negotiations than you might ordinarily during the next couple of weeks, as this story is unfolding dynamically day to day.<\/p>\n

Read your assigned chapter for two things: 1) Glossary Terms! Add them to the Class Wiki, or improve someone else’s term if it’s already added; 2) skim through looking for any EVENTS or DEVELOPMENTS in national health care policy. Bring your notes on those to Monday’s class. <\/p>\n
