Day(s) Tuesday Thursday Time(s) 4:30pm-6:05pm Course # PPHA 38030 Term Fall 2022 This class will cover the basics of health economics and U.S. health care policy. We will discuss the value of health, the productivity of health care and the role of health insurance. We will also review the major sources of US health care (physicians, hospitals, and drugs) and health insurance (including Medicaid and Medicare). We will discuss the drivers of health care innovation and health care costs. We will also take up timely policy topics such as Medicare for All, drug pricing, medical bankruptcy, racial disparities in health, and hospital mergers. My aim is to provide a survey of the many views of health care markets and reforms. Notes This is the same course as LAWS 43346. 5 seats will be reserved for Harris students. Harris students may preregister for this course.
