This would involve making all hospitals not-for-profit institutions. Use the utility maximization model to explain the likely impact such a policy would have on the cost of producing hospital services. What would happen if instead a policy was instituted that reduced barriers to entry in the hospital sector and therefore made the market more competitive?arrow_forward

- Frustration over US pharmaceutical pricing has led researchers to develop frameworks for evaluation that can be used by any purchaser or patient making complex drug choices. One of the most prominent, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, uses clinical trial data and compares value -- per quality adjusted life year (QALY) -- under actual market pricing and other possible references prices for specific drugs. Do you think $/QALY is an appropriate metric for evaluating the value of new drugs?arrow_forwardAccording to Gaynor, Laudicella, and Propper (2011), In the U.K., most hospitals are owned by the government, rather than privately held. In a setting where most hospitals are not owned by the government (such as in the U.S.), what effect do you predict that hospital mergers would have on the price of hospital care? Presumably, hospital mergers would lead to reduced competition and higher prices for any given type of care.arrow_forwardSection 2.4 lists six trends in the US healthcare system.
