=TOPIC: THE HEALTH CARE REFORM=

THE HEALTH CARE SITUATION HAS NOW REACHED A CRITICAL SITUATION FOR THE U.S.. THE DEBATE ON THE REFORM PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS PRESENTED TO THE SENATE AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL HAS CAUSED CONTROVERSY AMONG THE COUNTRY. IN CLASS, WE WILL DISCUSS WHY THE U.S. NEED A HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE PUBLIC INSURANCE OPTION AND OTHER OPTIONS ON THE TABLE, ONE OF THE MOST DEBATED ASPECTS OF THE BILL.

HERE ARE THE TOOLS FOR MAKING THE DISCUSSION INTERESTING

1. VIDEO ON FRIDAY - Perspective Roundtable: The Cost of Health Care

[| http://www.nejm.org/perspective-roundtable/cost-of-health-care/]

YOU'LL FIND THE TRANSCRIPT ON THE PAGE I WOULD LIKE YOU TO READ AND LISTEN ALL THE DISCUSSION AND BRING YOUR IDEAS ON TUESDAY

2. WHAT HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL MEANS FOR YOU

[]

YOU'LL FIND THERE A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE HEALTH CARE REFORM, DEPENDING ON YOUR CURRENT SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE KEY PROPOSALS TAB, IT HAS A VERY BRIEF AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE FACTS OF THE BILL.

3. FOR MANY, HEALTH CARE REFORM CAN'T WAIT

THIS IS THE AUDIO WE HEARD IN CLASS ON TUESDAY. IT HAS THE TRANSCRIPT SO IT'S REALLY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THE LAST PART OF THE INTERVIEW IS ABOUT THE ECONOMIC SITUATION OF THE U.S., WHICH IS RELATED TO THIS TOPIC BUT IS NOT ENTIRELY NECESSARY THAT YOU LISTEN TO IT. YOU'LL FIND ALL THE DETAILS IN THE LINK.

THIS IS THE QUESTION PAGES I WOULD LIKE YOU TO COMPLETE FOR THE NEXT CLASS



4. INACTION REPORT

THIS REPORT WAS MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT AND I FOUND IT ON THE HEALTH CARE REFORM WEBSITE. IT'S NOT TOTALLY IMPARTIAL BUT IT WAS A USEFUL TOOL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE SITUATION OF U.S. IN TERMS OF HEALTH CARE, AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO READ THIS, I'M ONLY SHOWING WHERE DID I GET THE INFORMATION FOR MY PRESENTATION



HERE'S THE LINK TO HEALTH CARE REFORM WEBSITE:[]

5. THESE ARE SOME ARTICLES I READ ABOUT THE TOPIC, THEY'RE MORE RELATED TO THE PUBLIC INSURANCE OPTION ASPECT. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO READ THIS, THIS IS JUST TO SHOW MY SOURCES. I PICK THEM FROM THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE BECAUSE I FIND IT VERY IMPARTIAL, THEY PRESENT A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS, WHICH IS GREAT TO UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC AND MAKE THE DICUSSION MORE INTERESTING.
