Making Sense of Healthcare Reform

By Britta Barrett | Posted March 5 2010

Economics, Healthcare, Technology

Do you understand the full picture of healthcare reform and how it will affect you, the average American family, or really the nation as a whole? Your grasp on the issue may soon be clearer than it was, thanks to this MIT video – “Health Care Reform in the US: What Will It Look Like and What Does It Mean?”

The panelists specialize in health, economics and public opinion, so their discussion conveys the complexity of the issue while putting the politics in context. They talk about what needs to be resolved in order to take constructive legislative action. It’s about an hour and a half long, so you may want to pop some popcorn for this one.

MIT has several other videos on health taken from public events the university has hosted. You can also search by topic (e.g. cancer) to pinpoint your results. They’re worth looking at, especially for the times when you feel like watching instead of reading.
