Current Courses
POLC 230 - Introduction to Comparative Politics
A comparison of various political processes and structures among selected countries designed to identify and highlight significant differences among various political models and practices. This course examines health care as a policy arena, one in which governments, private sectors, providers, and consumers attempt to influence the design and delivery of health services. These decisions are inherently political because the quality of health care so directly affects our lives and because most would agree that some access to it is a fundamental human right. In addition, the skyrocketing costs of health care are generating enormous debates over the efficiency, equality, and limits of these services.Research Interests
U.S. health policy (esp. public hospitals and other safety-net institutions), Latin American health policy
