Abstract:

Governor A was preparing for a forum on health sector reforms to be held the next week. The Governor wanted to make health reform one of her flagship programs during the upcoming local elections, and, in particular, wanted to consider ways of lowering the cost of drugs for the poor who were faced with huge out-of-pocket expenses for medications. The case focuses on issues of health reform implementation, using the problem of high cost pharmaceuticals as an example.
