Assume a hypothetical city in the United States at the start of the pandemic consumed 250 boxes of surgical gowns at a price of $120 per box. As the pandemic spread and U.S. demand surged, the United States removed the pre pandemic tariffs on imported medical supplies.

The UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (CESCR) is charged with interpreting the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESR). In 2000 the Committee released General Comment 14, “The Right to the Highest Attainable Standard of Health”. The General Comment is important for advancing our understanding of a right to health under international law because it: (choose one) A) Sets out what has become known as the “3AQ model” addressing the conditions for health on the basis of Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, and Quality. B) Creates new, specific obligations with respect to the delivery health care services that are binding on all countries of the world C) Makes it clear that the absence of a right to health in the Canadian Charter or Rights and Freedoms means that Canada is in clear violation of its obligations under the ICESR. D) Offers an account of a right to health that has been used by health advocates around the world E) A, B…

how has the pandemic affected the supply and demand of agriculture products? describe briefly
Journalist: To reconcile the need for profits sufficient to support new drug with the moral imperative to provide medicines to those who most need them but can not afford them, some pharmaceutical companies feel justified in selling a drug in rich nations at one price and in poor nations at a much lower price. But this practice is unjustified. A nation with a low average income may still have a substantial middle class better able to pay for new drugs than are many of the poorer citizens of an overall wealthier nation. Which one of the following principles, if valid, help to support the journalist's reasoning? a. People who are ill deserve more consideration than do healthy people, regardless of their relative socioeconomic positions. b. Whether one deserves special consideration depends on one's needs rather than on the characteristics of the society to which one belongs. c. Wealthier institutions have an obligation to expend at least some of their resources to assist those incapable…

Suppose you have an insurance plan in which you pay the market price for medical care until you meet a deductible of $1,000, after which you have a coinsurance rate of .20. Answer parts a and b assuming your inverse demand curve for medical care is P = 400 – 10Q and the market price for medical care is $200 per unit.a) Graph the price line and your demand curve. On the graph, label the values of the x and y intercepts of the demand curve, the quantity where you meet the deductible, the horizontal sections of the price line, and the point(s) where the demand curve intersects the price line.b) Find the number of units of medical care that you will demand. Show all calculations that youperformed in your analysis.

Suppose you are collecting data from a country like Japan where the government sets the price of healthcare. Each prefecture in Japan has a different set of prices (for example, Tokyo has higher prices than rural Hokkaido). Data for 1999 are displayed in the table below. Region Outpatient Visits per Month Price per Visit Tokyo 1.25 25 Hokkaido 1.75 15 (4 points) What is the arc price elasticity of demand for health care consumers in Japan (using only these data)? (4 points) Suppose that incomes are generally much higher in Tokyo than Hokkaido. Is your answer to the last question an overestimate or underestimate of price elasticity? Justify your answer. (c) (4 points) Using your estimated elasticity, what would the demand for health care be if the price in Tokyo were raised to 30 per visit? What would the demand in Hokkaido be if the price were lowered to 5 per visit?
