Hi Dr. Stevens,
I know you said this in class, but what were the reasons why Massachusetts was able to pass the individual mandate? thanks!

Good Luck!

Best of luck to y'all!
what exactly is the knox keen act?
Sorry, one more question. What were the Wenneberg studies? I understand the conclusions they drew, but I don't understand how they came to those conclusions.

Missing?

Where are Zelman's slides?

bill

Hey guys hope the studying is going peachy.

Should we know the steps it takes for a bill to become law beyond how difficult it is?
Can someone explain how managed care works? I'm still confused.
I'm still a little confused with how contracting works. And what does IPA stand for again?

Sicko

Are we going to be tested on Sicko, or any part of the discussion that we had about the film during lecture?

Thanks!

HDHP/SO

I had a quick question about a powerpoint slide that Dr. Stevens presented. For the lecture, Health Care Financing and Expenditures lecture...Powerpoint slide "Insurance Premiums by Type (Slide 16)": What does HDHP/SO stand for?

I know what HDHP stands for High-Deductible Health Plan. But what does "SO" stand for and what does it do?

I hope everyone is studying hard and I look forward to hearing your comment about this quick question.
