Overview:  This course is the introduction of a new way to think of healthcare as an adapted Public Utility Model and is taught by a Political Philosopher- Health Care System Design Expert. Course will explore how the American healthcare system is broken, current political options that are driving dysfunctional disease without providing solutions which are profit focused and the need for a healthcare system major overhaul. The course objectives define solutions of an integrated, regionally based system that is cooperative, service focused, health focused and data driven then defining the goals of a healthcare system in the Adaptive Public Utility Model.
