Description

Policy analysis on Medicare for All

Paper details:

Conduct a brief policy analysis of a given health issue (see below) using Bardach’s eightfold path to conduct the policy analysis. Part 2 of the Policy Analysis should address steps 5-8. You should address these steps explicitly.

Bardach’s eightfold path (https://fmch.bmj.com/content/7/2/e000076)

Tell a story with your policy analysis. Be clear, precise, and succinct. Use pictures, personal stories, and data. Pull important information out in a text box / sidebar to highlight for readers.

Health Issue:

Conduct a policy analysis on Medicare for All. This is a popular yet also hotly debated topic, analyze it more explicitly. Use the KFF comparison tool (https://www.kff.org/interactive/compare-medicare-for-all-public-plan-proposals/) and the scientific literature to support your analysis.
