00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,320
- Welcome to module one.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,310
So there's plenty to talk
about in this module.

3
00:00:05,310 --> 00:00:08,170
I added in parts about Medicare

4
00:00:08,170 --> 00:00:11,120
because Medicare is really one

5
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:16,120
of the best examples to think
about how these topics work.

6
00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:19,840
Things like, what is public health?

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,713
What are the values of public health?

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,640
How does the

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:25,800
initiation

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,950
and

11
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:30,720
trajectory of health law work?

12
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,700
Medicare can provide a
really good foundation

13
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:37,090
for looking at that tangibly.

14
00:00:37,090 --> 00:00:39,790
So this week, not only are
you starting where a lot

15
00:00:39,790 --> 00:00:43,550
of public health classes start,
which is the fundamentals,

16
00:00:43,550 --> 00:00:46,030
but also I've added in
Medicare because I want

17
00:00:46,030 --> 00:00:49,520
to give you an example to
ground a lot of this in.

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,900
So when you start this week, I would say

19
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:55,270
start with the readings.

20
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:57,540
There's a couple of videos here

21
00:00:57,540 --> 00:01:01,060
and then head on over
to the discussion forum.

22
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:04,950
There's also an assignment
that will help you think

23
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:09,723
about the history of Medicare
and how that came about.
