It's Debatable

There are a number of excellent resources for finding the pros and cons of issues and policy available from the library. Try starting with these.

  • CQ Researcher

This is a list of recommended journals on health care policy and research provided by The Kaiser Family Foundation. The library has subscriptions to all of these journals.

It includes citations from MEDLINE and PreMEDLINE. Regular PubMed is an open database that does not require a U-M login but this version requires login in order to link to U-M journal subscriptions using MGetIt.
