"The American Health Care System in Crisis and the Prospects for Reform"
Robert Rich, Director, Institute of Government and Public Affairs

The United States is the only industrialized society where health care is not a legal right and yet, we spend more than any other country on our health care system. Every time comprehensive health care reform has been proposed since 1932, it has been rejected. What should be the health care reform agenda? What are the prospects for real change?The talk is free and open to the public and is in the University YMCA’s Latzer Hall (located on the corner or Wright and Chalmers.) Lunch is available through the Y Thai Eateryfor $6.00 for non-students and $3 for students (school ID is required).
