This program will focus on the current American social,
political, and economic problem of uncompensated health care for
individuals without any or with only inadequate third party
insurance coverage for their health care needs. Besides
exploring the extent of, and reasons underlying, this
multifaceted dilemma, the program will concentrate on the
ramifications of uncompensated care for health care providers
and potential public policy alternatives and private initiatives
aimed at changing the status quo.
