In 1992, The Markle Foundation approached Maxis to see how a business simulation game like this could be applied to a public policy issue. President Bill Clinton had just been elected and planned to address health care reform as one of this top goals, and The Markle Foundation wanted to fund a game that examined the impact of the national health care system. Despite its commercial failure, SimHealth is a solid simulation that really gives different (if perhaps not "realistic") results of your decision. Want to cut insurance or increase family medicine practice? Here's your chance-- with the end goal of getting re-elected again when the time comes
