UNAS1702 · Complex Problems and Enduring Questions
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This is an Enduring Question course and is open to FRESHMEN only. You must take both ECON1702 and UNAS1702. Why is healthcare so interconnected with policy, law, and economics? Recently, health has become a central focus of political infighting, public discord, and personal worry. Healthcare and health insurance now dominate everything from think tanks to Jimmy Kimmel Live! Meanwhile, concussions go up, NFL ratings go down, drug prices soar, and opioid abuse damages individuals, families, the healthcare system, and the economy. Such complex issues are best understood through interdisciplinary study. These paired courses will introduce basic principles of economics, law, and public policy through the lens of contemporary problems involving enduring questions of government authority and individual autonomy, morality and ethics, social justice, and human rights.
