Answer 1

Health care policy goals:

1. Equity: the study of quality of health and healthcare across different population. equity is the absence of remediable differences among groups of people socially, economically, demographically or geographically. Eg. DistDistributional objectives in healthcare can arise from considerations of social justice and fairness.
2. Security: A consequence of ignoring individual characteristic is to distort global health priorities in an effort to streamline policy making and funding activities. Eg. The areas of convergence and divergence between global health security and universal health coverage both conceptually and empirically.
3. Efficiency: progress toward universal health coverage requires not just more money for health but more value for money. comparison of delivery system outputs eg. Physicians visit, relative value visits, health outcomes with inputs like cost time or material
4. welfare: system from leading to the loss of Medicaid health insurance for low income children and adults. another Medicaid provision allowed states to set their own income disregard policies, effectively permitting then to expand beyond these levels.
