KFF Introduces Health Policy 101—A Primer on U.S. Health Policy
A new KFF resource—Health Policy 101—explains the basics on a wide range of topics about health programs and policy in the United States, such as Medicare and Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, health care costs and affordability, women’s health issues, and the politics of health care. Health Policy 101 chapters are available online and can be downloaded in PDF format. The "101" was created to serve as a mini "textbook" for faculty and students interested in health policy. Dr. Drew Altman, KFF’s president and CEO, is the editor of the 101 series.
