He has been a member of the Downstate School of Public Health faculty since 2010, having completed doctoral studies in Political Science at Brown University in 2009. Dr. Ehlke’s research interests include health system design and identifying political ingredients for system reform. In addition to studying the American health care environment and the impacts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), he closely monitors developments in systems worldwide, most notably the British National Health Service (NHS). A particular area of emphasis in his work is the tension between the conception of health care as a right versus elements of medical consumerism.
