Why has the U.S. tied health insurance to employment? Is this how other developed countries provide health care for its citizens?
Homework Answers
Ans) The employer-provided health insurance industry that exists today is largely the unintended result of a temporary tax break from the early 1940s. This tax break became the basis for U.S. healthcare.
- Then, in 1943, the Internal Revenue Service decided that employer-based health insurance should be exempt from taxation. This made it cheaper to get health insurance through a job than by other means. Even many unions did, having spent so much political capital fighting for insurance benefits for their members.

Archenland currently has a public health insurance system that
reimburses citizens for 80% of all health care costs incurred. The
government is considering a policy change that would provide
medical care providers with a fixed reimbursement level for each
diagnosed illness and citizens would longer have to bear any
out-of-pocket expenses for health care. how would this policy
change affect moral hazard?

The United States spends more on health per capita than any other country. The U.S. spends about 16 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health care—the largest expenditure in this category among industrialized countries. Even though the U.S. health system is the most expensive in the world, comparative analyses consistently show the U.S. under performs relative to other countries on most dimensions of health performance. Finally, the U.S. remains the only major industrial country without some form of...

The insurance industry plays a huge 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. Why do you believe that so much resistance to a concept used in every other developed country has continued in the U.S.?

Single-Payer Health Insurance There are currently opinions being voiced about the United States converting to a federally-administered single-payer health-care program (Medicare-for-All). The Federal Government would decide what care to deliver, which drugs to pay for, and how much to pay doctors and hospitals. Private insurance would be banned because, as the Congressional Budget Office has noted, high-income people might prefer to purchase substitutive insurance that offered more generous benefits or greater access to providers. The Discussion Board question this week...
