Health Policy

[MegaSonic]

Hey,

I wanted to shape up on health policy before my interviews. Does anyone know of some good sources? I need to start with the basics, I definitely don't know much about this area.

Thanks

My personal recommendation: NYTimes & Kaiser should be a good start. NEJM and JAMA have some policy-related articles (particularly the editorials/perspectives) that are good.
