Health Equity Policy

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course will focus on inequities in health care coverage, including insurance and public programs, and efforts to create a more equitable system. We will explore barriers to health coverage based on race, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and how such barriers affect the ability to be healthy. We will also look at how laws, public health programs, and efforts by employers and insurers have advanced health equity and access to care.
