What does elasticity of demand mean for healthcare insurance companies, medical doctors and the government?
A consumer’s demand for a medical service is as follows: Q = 100 - PP where PP is the out-of-pocket price she actually faces. She is considering four different insurance options: uninsurance, full insurance, a 50% coinsurance plan, and a copayment plan with a $25 copay. Assume this service has a list price of PL = $70. Calculate Q under each insurance plan. Calculate the amount of social loss under each insurance plan. Derive a general expression for social loss as a function of x and PL, where x is the copay amount under a copayment plan. For simplicity’s sake, assume x < PL. Derive a general expression for social loss as a function of y and PL, where y is the coinsurance rate.

If the federal government were to require that employer health care plans have deductibles that were no greater than $200 per year, would the employees in these plans be better off? Would the employers offering these plans be worse off? Briefly explain. I

The graph below represents a simplified hypothetical version of the market for medical procedures in Canada. If the market is allowed to set the price and quantity of procedures, what price and quantity will it set? P = $7,000, Q = 62 thousand P = $12,000, Q = 106 thousand P = $7,000, Q = 112 thousand P = $49,000, Q = 62 thousand
A number of professional associations, such as the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association, support regulations that make it more costly for their members (for example, doctors and lawyers) to practice their services. While some of these regulations may stem from a genuine desire for higher-quality medical and legal services, self-interest may also play a role. Explain.
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…
