UI Professor to discuss history of health reform in U.S.

Prepare to vote using insider knowledge!

This is your chance to quickly review the history of Health Care Policy interactions with U. S. Elections and what the two current Presidential candidates’ proposals will potentially mean for health care in the U.S. in the next four to 8 years.

Professor of History Colin Gordon’s second book, Dead on Arrival: The Politics of Health in Twentieth Century America is a history of health care policy in the United States across the twentieth century. Please plan to join the University of Iowa History of Medicine Society, Tuesday evening, October 28th, as Professor Gordon presents, Raising the Dead?  History, Health Reform and the 2008 Election.”  Professor Gordon will provide a brief background on health care policy and its interaction with Presidential politics, prior to facilitating what we hope will be a lively discussion by all those in attendance.

Date and Time:  5:30 to 6:30, Tuesday, October 28th

Place: Hardin Library for the Health Sciences, Information Commons, 2nd floor.
