Health Care

The National Institutes of Health are the single largest source of health care-related research in the country. The Department of Veterans Affairs administers the single largest chain of hospitals in the country. The Department of Health and Human Services sets policies governing Medicare and Medicaid, deeply affecting health care finances.
