This year’s winner of SlideShare’s World’s Best Presentation contest is a slideshow called Healthcare Napkins All. The slideshow outlines the impetus for healthcare reform initiatives. The presentation also outlines the parties that have a stake in the outcome of healthcare reform initiatives.

Thanks to Larry Ferlazzo for the link to SlideShare’s contest results.

Applications for Education
Not a day goes by that you turn on the news (be it radio, television, or Internet) that you don’t hear a story about healthcare reform. If you’re a current events or US Civics teacher, you’ve probably discussed it in class or you have plans to discuss it in class. Understanding the source of the healthcare reform debates and understanding who comprises the various interests in the debates can be confusing for students (and many adults too). This slideshow, despite some of its bias, could be a good resource to provide some background knowledge to your students.
