WHAT SHOULD WE BE SPENDING ON HEALTH CARE AND HOW SHOULD WE SPEND IT?
(318)
Wednesday 10:30 – 12:00, in Choir Room (6 Classes on 2-5, 2-12, 2-19, 2-26, 3-4 & 3-11)
Health care, like education, is one of those large expenditures that are a mix of public and private spending.
This course will ask the general question of what mix of public and private spending is appropriate for
health care. Most policy analysts believe that some government is needed due to efficiency issues (e.g.,
prescription prices are too high) and ethical issues (e.g., many cannot afford even basic care). Given that
some government intervention is required, one can then look at the different methods for addressing these
issues. Finally, it will be useful to ask whether our current system of health care adequately measures up
and, what can be done about it with a particular emphasis on proposals in the news today.

This course will introduce the basics of this fantastic art-form where traditional Chinese Motifs are
attempted. Chinese Brush Painting is the art of using simple and effortless brush strokes to depict the
essence of a figure or scene, an ancient art that continues to fascinate contemporary artists.
Sumi-E Painting - The Japanese term “sumi” means “black ink”, “e” means “painting”. It indicates one
of the art forms in which subjects are painted with black ink in all possible gradations ranging pure black to
the lightest shades achievable by dissolving ink in water. However, this does not mean that everything
painted in this way deserves to be called sumi-e.
All materials and use of my equipment, special brushes and rice paper, pigments and ink etc. for students
use for $8.00 per session per person.
