Read each question carefully. Answer each of the following questions in 2 to 3 well written and organized paragraphs. You will need to support your answers with outside resources. Follow APA (6th edition) format. Include a title page and reference page. 1. The various kinds of health professionals are educated in separate schools but with considerable overlap in curricula and training requirements. They are, however, expected to integrate their training and work together after graduation. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to professional education in terms of costs, educational efficiency, and patient care quality. 2. In part, because of the workplace origins of illness and accident insurance, the perception of the employer’s obligation to cover all or part of health insurance premiums persisted as the scope of coverage broadened and the costs increased. However, rising premiums have caused increasing numbers of employers to shift larger shares of premiums to their workers. Discuss your opinion about employers’ responsibility to fund all or part of health insurance premiums for their employees. 3. With so many different stakeholders in the health care system, many with powerful political lobbies, it is understandable that the government was unable, until the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, to address the problems of cost, access, and quality. What are your views about government’s versus the market’s role in reshaping the system? 4. The insurance industry plays a major role in the American health care system and absorbs a significant portion of the health care dollar. A single payer system, whether it is a private company or the US government, would eliminate the complex insurance paperwork burden and free substantial funds that could be diverted to support care for the under-served. In ACA debates, a “public option” was defeated by lobbyists. Identify some reasons why resistance to a single-payer concept, used in every other developed country, has continued in the U.S. 5. Almost two-thirds of all surgical procedures are now performed in ambulatory surgery facilities. Discuss the reasons for this shift of surgery from the inpatient setting and its effect on hospitals and consumers.
