Healthcare Systems Policy Making Discussion

Description

1. Countries choose to finance and organization their healthcare systems in unique ways – some fully public/government-based, some combining a form of public and private, and others that are less structured. Please choose a country (excluding those from the article – No AUS, CAN, NZ, or UK), and describe how they pay for healthcare. Be sure to note whether or not employers play a roll in covering insurance as they do in the United States. Additionally, please note basic comparative statistics such as the cost of healthcare per capita and life expectancy… to compare their approach to the U.S.

2. In Dan Ariely’s video this week, he suggests that perhaps we may not always be the best decision makers… that we respond to prompts and cues in a way that may guide us to choose incorrectly or inaccurately. Thinking about this in regards to the role that employers play in the united states in guiding employees healthcare and benefits choices (and what you learned earlier in the course about demand for health)… what concerns, pitfalls or cautions should be considered? What role to employers need to play in educating and communicating effectively about benefits… but also the use of health insurance, moral hazard, pandemics?
