President Obama scored a major political victory with the approval of national health care reform, but the dose of policy medicine left a bad taste in the mouths of many Americans, helping fuel a Republican victory in last year's midterm elections. The fight over health care reform continues in the courts and the Congress, as Republicans seek to overturn what they dub, "Obamacare."

Professor Channick's research interests include health law and public policy.
