Abstract

This paper explores the perceptions of West Michiganders about United State's health care reform. Dr. Molla's fall 2010 students in Culture and Disease class used informal interview and participant observation methods to collect data from 350 on-campus and off-campus volunteers. A quantitative and qualitative analysis will identify factors influence people's justification for supporting the law as well those for rejecting the reform. The initial analysis shows people are not well informed about the healthcare reform. It will expose what lies in the heart of our citizens. The findings will be useful for policy makers, program personnel and concerned stakeholders.
