Although the U.S. has the most market-oriented health care system in the world, government involvement in health care is pervasive and growing. Therefore, it is important for students who are interested in a career in health care to understand the institutional and political context in which these policies are crafted. In addition, given the magnitude and growth in health spending, a basic knowledge of health policy is important for understanding the fiscal policy challenges and choices that the U.S. faces. The goal of this course is to provide a deep and nuanced introduction to these issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
BE 688 is an MBA elective that is open to MBA1s, MBA2s, and Evening MBA students. MBA students can register for the course through Wolverine Access. Graduate students from other units are invited to enroll, space-permitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentations will cover both general topics on government, politics, and the policy process as well as policy issues that are specific to the health care industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MBA1s are eligible to enroll in this course as long as travel dates do not conflict with scheduled internship commitments. Credit limits will not be permitted to be raised above 18.00 credits in order to accommodate this course. <\/strong><\/p> <\/li>\n\n\n\n BE 688 Washington DC Residential on Health Care Policy and Politics BE 688 Course Overview Although the U.S. has the most market-oriented health care system in the world, government involvement in health care is pervasive and growing.
