Striving for Universal Coverage: An Analysis of the 2010 U.S Health Care Legislation Reforms

I am heartily thankful to my supervisor, Prof. dr. F.T. Schut, whose encouragement, guidance and support from the onset of this project through the final steps enabled me to develop an understanding of the United States ’ recent health care reform. I am also grateful to my other lecturers in the Health Economics, Policy and Law program at Erasmus University Rotterdam who contributed to my knowledge of health insurance and to Werner Brouwer and Richard van Kleef, the co-evaluators of this thesis. Finally, I would like to thank my parents and my fiancé, John, for their support during this long and often stressful process
