LAW 730 - 001

Government Health Policy is a two-credit seminar course that focuses on background and current perspectives concerning key health regulatory matters dealt with by government authorities. Broad considerations involving access to service, cost containment and quality improvement will serve as foundational themes in exploring legal and policy matters, from both a domestic and international perspective. While an array of subjects impacting health delivery will be covered, special emphases will be placed on public and private health insurance policy and regulation. There is no text for the course but a series of readings from current literature will be required. Students' grades will be based on three papers and presentations.
