SEMINAR and READING LECTURE 4
Reading for lecture 4 has been reviewed.
Essential reading will now consist of the lecture notes (posted in the 'module information' section) and the paper by Brett, which you can find HERE.
The seminar task remains unchanged and is as follows:
A class discussion of a recent article by Alan Brett, “American Values” – A Smoke Screen in the Debate on Health Care Reform (N Engl J Med 2009;361: 440-1). Come prepared to discuss the following questions:
- What role does ‘choice’ play in the US health care reform debate?
- What according to Brett is the connection between ‘choice’ and markets?
- How does Brett rebut the choice argument?
- What alternative approach does he suggest?
