Health Commentary offers a diverse online forum for the discussion of the health care system—encouraging consumers, students, business people, the media, academics, and policy makers— virtually anyone with an opinion—into the health care debate. The site brings the concept of “health populism” to the web—that is, the idea that health care should not be in the hands of an elite “few,” but that ALL
of America’s citizens have a voice and a stake in the health care debate and should express their opinions and ideas online. To achieve this goal, Health Commentary offers a diverse online forum for the discussion of the health care system—encouraging consumers, students, business people, the media, academics, and policy makers— virtually anyone with an opinion—into the health care debate. Anchoring the site is “Story of the Week,” a weekly health care news analysis by Dr. Magee featuring text and video—that closely examines a health care issue or emerging mega-trend. The site features a variety of guest bloggers and forums for various contributors—and enables visitors to post comments in response to anything they read at the site. There is a Daily News Feeds which includes the most important health news and information of the day selected from print and broadcast media, publications, and advocacy organizations. Our page broadcasts unique New Offerings and alerts readers to new products and publications that impact health.
