Dr. Bill Sage is the Assistant Vice President of the Texas A&M Health Science Center, a professor of Medicine at the Texas A& M University School of Medicine, and a professor of Law at Texas A& M University School of Law. He has published hundreds of papers over the decades on health law and policy, and he has edited four books including the Oxford Handbook of US Health Law. He has previously been a professor of law and/or medicine at the University of Texas Austin, Columbia Law School, Yale, Harvard and NYU. Although we will be talking about American health care policy rather than specifically Alaska health care policy, our conversation is relevant since the Alaska Health Care system is a microcosm of our national health care system.
Here are links to many of the Dr. Sage's papers discussed during today's episode:
"What the Pandemic Taught Us: The Health Care System We Have Is Not the System We Hoped We Had"
"Minding Ps and Qs: The Political and Policy Questions Framing Health Care Spending"
