Based upon comparisons of U.S. and Canadian health care systems along structured dimensions, students will choose countries upon which they will perform in-depth research and comparative analysis of 1) structure of the system; 2) performance “cost” vs. “benefits”; 3) health care priorities; 4) who pays and who should pay; and 5) issues related to governments as stewards of health care.
