title: At the crossroads of higher education and health care.
abstract: The availability of educational opportunity and health care services has played a fundamental role in U.S. development as a nation of global significance. This review analytically examines the intersections of health care and higher education in the United States as they exist in 2011. Such examination, particularly as it relates to the recent Affordable Care Act, is critical for health and education professionals, legislators, and the public to better understand which interventions, for example, will work most effectively.
