UM: Health Care

Writing on The Huffington Post, Peter Ubel – director of UM’s Center for Behavioral and Decision Sciences and Medicine – describes the implications of political compromise in the health care debate: “Politicians are understandably worried that if they collaborate across the aisle, their political careers will soon end. They fear losing their next election. But their fears are misplaced, at least from my perspective as a researcher who has studied the kinds of ways people mis-predict what will make themselves happy or miserable.” [Source]
