The following is an excerpt from "The Oregon Experiment- Effects of Medicaid on Clinical Outcomes," by Baicker et al. (2013). Fill in the blank identifying the method used in this paper given the description in the paragraph (I've given you a hint on the key points by italicizing a few phrases): "Adults randomly selected in the lottery were given the option to apply for Medicaid, but not all persons selected by the lottery enrolled in Medicaid (either because they did not apply or because they were deemed ineligible). Lottery selection increased the probability of Medicaid coverage during our study period by 24.1 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI], 22.3 to 25.9; P<0.001). The subgroup of lottery winners who ultimately enrolled in Medicaid was not comparable to the overall group of persons who did not win the lottery. We, therefore, used a standard______ _approach... to estimate the causal effect of enrollment in Medicaid. Intuitively, since the lottery increased the chance…
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…

In the Grossman model, the marginal efficiency of investment in health care declines as health improves. True False
Draw a market where consumers demand health insurance and insurance companies supply insurance at a price of insurance called the premium. Explain why, in this model of the insurance market, the individual mandate (the mandate is everyone has to have insurance) will cause health insurance premiums to increase.
Suppose that there are two countries, Beta and Gamma. Suppose further that everyone in country Beta is on Insurance B and everyone in country Gamma is on Insurance G. Suppose further that both governments use government-set price controls. In 2005, country Beta decided to change the reimbursement rate for pharmaceuticals, but country Gamma did not make this change. You, a researcher, want to study the effect of offering coverage for this drug had an impact on health expenditures. You have average health expenditures for State Beta and Gamma prior to 2005 and post-2005. Using your finding from the question above, you can infer that country Beta likely _____ reimbursement rates for pharmaceutical drugs. State Time Periods Pre-2005 Post-2005 State Beta $1000 $1400 State Gamma $1500 $1700 a. lower b. did not change c. raised
The Beveridge model in the United Kingdom uses queues or waiting lists to ration care, rather than prices.
According to Grossman model, what would happen to the demand for health stock if wages go down? A) Would MEI shift to the right/left/stay the same? B) would MC curve shift up/down/stay the samer C) would optimal level of heath stock go up/down/stay the same?
Demand for medical services is price inelastic (Absolute value of price elasticity of demand is less than 1 and greater than zero). Medical services are different from most other goods and services in that the person who determines the demand (the patient) is not the person who makes the payment (payment is made by the insurance company). How does this affect the price elasticity of demand for medical services (increase it or decrease it)? You may assume that this question only refers to people who have health insurance. Ignore co-payments and deductibles and any other out-of-pocket expenses. Please give an explanation.
In the early 2000s, the state of Massachusetts in the U.S. implemented a health reform aimed at enrolling people without health insurance into an insurance plan. The reform required people without health insurance (at least those who could afford it) to buy insurance, and put in place penalties on those who nevertheless chose not to buy insurance. Below is the abstract of a recent National Bureau of Economic Research working paper entitled “Health Reform, Health Insurance, and Selection: Estimating Selection into Health Insurance Using the Massachusetts Health Reform” by Martin Hackmann, Jonathan Kolstad, and Amanda Kowalski. The authors conducted a study of the effects of the Massachusetts reform. They write: We implement an empirical test for selection into health insurance using changes in coverage induced by the introduction of mandated health insurance in Massachusetts. Our test examines changes in the cost of the newly insured relative to those who were insured prior to the…
While it may seem intuitively obvious that health expenditures will increase as a population age – older people, after all, are less healthy on average than younger people – in fact, several prominent health economists have argued that it is not ageing per se, but rather some of the correlates of an ageing population that cause health expenditures to rise as population ages. For instance, Getzen (1992) argues that, at least in part, rising health expenditures with an ageing population are due to the higher incomes and resources of the older population; health care is a normal good, so higher incomes lead to higher expenditures. In a similar manner, Zweifel et al. (1999) argue that the real problem with an ageing population, at least as far as health care costs are concerned, is that there will be more people who are within a couple of years of dying. Since health care expenditures rise sharply close to the end of life, it is this, rather than population ageing by itself, that leads to…
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.
