From opinion pieces in newspapers to dinner-table conversations, the debate over whether the right to quality health care is a public right, akin to educating our children, or whether it is a private one, akin to life insurance, continues. In Dilemmas of American Health Care Policy Michael Reagan shows that in the American political context, health care is neither exclusively a public right nor a private privilege. This insightful case study provides students with an excellent demonstration of how public policy intersects with private markets. |
