PBS Lesson plan - good idea for all of us

June 19th 2009 04:59
I found a PBS lesson plan online for teaching students about the health care debate/issue. It's really a good idea for all of us to look at. As informed as we try to be, we can always be BETTER INFORMED!

Here's the outline of the plan:

1. Find (read) five current headlines (and their articles) about the health care issue.
2. Read the following paper: [I]The Right to Health Care and the Role of Government in Health Policy. [/I]
3. Look over the charts on Just The Facts from Yes! Magazines health care issue (you might want to look over some of the articles as well.) Answer the following questions: Why does America spend more than any other nation on health care? Why are insurance premiums rising so rapidly? Is universal health insurance a tenable option in the United States? What are the current challenges facing the American health care system?


Here is the web page with the complete lesson plan.
