QUESTION 2
In the United States, a significant number of the current population is uninsured. Reducing that number is critical to maintaining a healthy population. The federal government plays a large role in healthcare and sets the standards, regulations, and policies. In most industries, market-based competition is the primary incentive for sellers to maximize the quality of their product or service and to limit the cost. This is true to a much more limited degree in healthcare.
In the discussion topic, consider the following:
- What is the government's role in healthcare? How does the government impact healthcare organizations?
- How does health insurance impact healthcare delivery?
- How can we reduce the number of uninsured people while maximizing quality and access and minimizing costs?
