The Taub Center Health Policy Program focuses on several aspects of the health system, such as trends in national health expenditure, evaluation of the various reforms carried out in the health system, planning in the short and long terms, strategies for dealing with health inequities, health insurance policy and questions of insurance duplicate coverage, and health work force planning in various healthcare professions. The program focuses on a variety of health domains, such as mental health, occupational health, dental health, public and preventive health, inequalities and inequities, public funding, and resource allocation. The Health Policy Program also works in collaboration with other programs in the Taub Center based on the belief that in order to improve the level of health one must understand its many determinants.
