Health care reform is front and center of today’s U.S. political stage. But many Americans don’t realize China passed landmark health care reform legislation in March 2009 with the ambitious goal of implementing universal health care in three years. Join researchers and practitioners from China and the United States for an informed exploration comparing the two nations’ health systems and proposed reforms, and to exchange ideas about how to move reform forward.
