As the U.S. continues to spend more money on health care than any other nation, policymakers propose ideas to resolve the spending and coverage crisis. A recent study by researchers at UCLA, UCSF, and UC Berkeley shows that a single-payer health care system would save the U.S. money over time. They looked at 22 economic analyses by government, business, and academic centers across California, New York, and other states and found that 19 of them predicted savings in the first year after implementation, averaging 3.5% of total health care spending. In this seminar, join Dr. James G. Kahn, a professor in the UCSF Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies, and Dr. Michael A. Rodriguez, professor and vice chair in the Department of Family Medicine at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and faculty associate at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, as they walk through study findings and how they may inform health care planning in California and beyond, such as Governor Newsom’s newly created state commission, to find ways to achieve universal coverage.
The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research is one of the nation's leading health policy research centers and the premier source of health policy information for California. Established in 1994, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research is based in the School of Public Health and affiliated with the School of Public Affairs.
