Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
The Political Life of Medicare--OLLI Study Group (50+)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M
Class meets Tuesdays, January 21 - February 25.
This study group will focus on the political conflicts related to the Medicare program from its passage to the present day. We will read the viewpoint of one author, Jonathan Oberlander, in his book "The Political Life of Medicare." It is a brief, accessible analysis that describes the basic features of Medicare and offers provocative insights into the political conflicts that have arisen around it. This reading will be the foundation for discussions about how his analysis matches your own perspectives on the program. Craig Ramsey is Emeritus Professor of Politics and Government at Ohio Wesleyan University, where he taught a course on the U.S. healthcare system.
