Healthcare Policy in the United States
83
Public
Everyone is talking about health care in the United States. With 47 million or more uninsured and probably many more under-insured Americans, we must ask why? How is it possible in a country that spends more per person for health care than any other country in the world that so many people do not have adequate access to health care? I would like this Twine to be a place to discuss these questions.
