Description:The lecture will focus on this debate, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the current health system in the United States. Most importantly, it will focus on steps that might be taken to close the gaps in health care in this nation. These issues will be examined from the perspectives of those who use health care (i.e., all of us as patients), those who provide health care, and those who make the policy driving the system.
