1. Economics and the Growth of Modern Medicine
In the history of health care delivery, the development of various types of technologies has advanced the growth of medical care. Examples of lifesaving technology include the development of the microscope, X-rays, surgical equipment, and medications. These life saving technologies have contributed to increased longevity and life expectancy. These technologies have also brought with them increased cost, the emergence of health insurance, managed care, and high malpractice premiums and awards.
Has the benefit derived from these technologies outweighed the associated costs? Why or why not? To support your comments, select, state, and explain about at least two technological developments that have impacted these costs.
2. The Economics of Global Health Care
As the costs of health care delivery in the United States continue to soar, it has become necessary to 'benchmark' with other countries abroad on how they deliver health care to their citizens. Countries to consider reviewing include:
- England.
- Canada.
- France.
- Germany.
- Sweden.
- Japan.
- Cuba.
Select two countries and evaluate how they compare and contrast to how health care is financed.
