SUMMARY:Health Care Reform: what are we reforming?\, Chaos & Complex S
ystems Seminar\, Linda Reivitz\, UW School of Nursing
DESCRIPTION:Health care reform\, and ideas for national health insuran
ce\, have been part of our national dialogue at least since 1912\, whe
n the idea was proposed by Theodore Roosevelt . We're still talking ab
out health care reform today. But what is health care reform. And what
are we 'reforming' anyway. Is 'reform' going to happen. What would ch
ange if it did. Of all the reform ideas now being discussed\, which on
e is 'best'? And how many people are really uninsured? The answers to
these questions will be discussed by Linda Reivitz\, an instructor of
health policy in the UW School of Nursing and former legislation aide
on Capitol Hill. Says Reivitz: as I write this in late September\, two
things are clear: first\, the world of 'health care reform' will sure
ly be a lot different in December\, 2009 than it is today\; and second
\, questions about public policy are rarely answered using the scienti
fic method. Talking about health care and health reform to a seminar o
n Chaos and Complex Systems is totally apropos. For those who have an
interest in comparing\, across a number of characteristics and plan co
mponents\, the leading comprehensive reform proposals being considered
by the Congress\, you can find this information at http://www.kf
