Health-related Policy or Scientific Representation Analysis (6-10 pages)
For this option, you may choose either a health or health-related policy (that has been passed, or is in the works) OR a scientific study that affects healthcare and do a deep dive of the policy/study, utilizing your close reading and analytical skills.   You must consider the goals of the study/policy, the stance of the authors who wrote it, the funding sources (for policies, you may check out opensecrets.org), who the intended beneficiaries are, and who it negatively affects.  
For either option, you must track the rhetorical moves of the piece and how it gets represented in summary through outside sources.  In addition to close reading the policy or study itself, please review at least four other articles that represent the policy or study in order to consider how this information is meant to be publicly interpreted; how do the summaries compare to the study or policy themselves?  If you can’t find four articles that represent the policy or study specifically, research the general topic of them and see what comes up.  What is the significance of the public not knowing about this policy or study?
