Answer 2 of the following 4 questions in seperate essays. Don’t be too brief. 3-5 pages per question would seem to be adequate. Be sure to use the readings
1. All modern health care systems are under considerable pressure, particularly cost pressure. Please explain why this is so, using all resources at your disposal. Then explain some of the policy responses to these pressures, particularly in the area of “the market.” Is there a way to tell if these responses have been successful? Feel free to use especially the country you have researched as your primary example.
2. Which one the “best” health care system? How would we go about determining that? What does “best” even mean? Can such a determination actually be made? But don’t just cop-out by saying “it’s all subjective.” Yes it is, but a good case can still be made that certain features are required, while others are definitely bad.
3. What is meant by “universal health” care? What is needed to make a health care system truly universal? What are the dilemmas of creating a universal system?
4. Is there such a thing as a “human right” to health care? Be sure to pay adequate attention to both sides of this argument
