Informing the Debate: Health Policy Options for Michigan Policymakers Just in time for the 2002 elections, Michigan State University's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research (IPPSR) and Institute for Health Care Studies (ICHS) have released seven white papers on key health policy issues. About the papers Written by faculty from across campus—with policymakers, candidates, and voters in mind—the papers provide balanced, thoughtful information and possible solutions to key health policy issues. The Applied Public Policy Research Program provided grants for the papers through funds allocated by the State of Michigan to develop expertise for Michigan's policymaking community. Downloading the Papers To view the papers you will need the free plugin Adobe Acrobat Reader. The papers are best viewed in Adobe Acrobat 4.0 or higher.
