Document Summary

The theme of this class is health/wellness is active. 2/3 of college students have a mental health issue intellectual wellness. One we do the least: spiritual wellness, social wellness/intrapersonal wellness. What we do the most interacting with other people: environmental or planet wellness, 6 steps of stages of change in order to make that change by dealing with one step at a time, pre-contemplation. When there is a problem and you know it"s a problem but it controls you and there is nothing you can do to change it: contemplation. When the person admits that there is a problem try to understand it and try to think of ways to attack the problem: preparation. When you sit down and create a plan of what you are going to do to kill the problem: action. Working on it and you start to see change. Work consistently and the change occurs: maintenance.

Related Questions

A big topic in the debate over potential reforms to the US healthcare system is whether or not the US should switch to a single-payer system. Indeed, we already have such a system in Medicare. Whatâs more, Medicare is larger than most (if not all) existing national health systems. As most of you know our health spending per capita is much higher in the US than in other developed countries.

Question 1: explore the difference between the cost of Medicare (for elderly in the US) versus the costs of health care for the elderly in other countries like Canada, France, or Switzerland. The question is, âHow can we make an apples-to-apples comparison?â How you could conceivably use existing information to get comparisons of the cost of healthcare for the elderly under Medicare versus care for just the elderly in some other country or countries. (Basically, how to break out just the elderly portion of the costs for the Swiss system, or the Canadians, etc.) Clearly, differences in the quality of healthcare delivery are a big issue and there are complex issues involved in comparing quality (for example, because of differences in obesity, murder rates, and genetics, itâs problematic to use population longevity as a measure of healthcare quality). But for this question you can ignore issues of quality.

Question 1 to 9. Choose TRUE or FALSE. WILL RATE 5 stars for a correct answer

1. Flow of Funds

Direct spending by the government on health care in 2012 was almost $ 4,500.

Flow of Funds

Payments to hospitals and physicians account for about half of all health care spending in 2012.

Flow of Funds

Over the past 100 years, out-of-pocket expenditures for health care services by individuals have decreased from over 75% to less than 5%.

Flow of Funds

Third-party payers account for 60% of all health care expenditures in 2012

Flow of Funds

The dollar amount of health care expenditures paid by charitable organizations and individuals has remained roughly constant over the past 100 years if one adjusts for inflation

6. Flow of Funds

Ranking everyone by the amount spent on medical care, 30 percent of the total (all expenditures for all people) is accounted for by the top 1 percent of patients. The top half of the population accounts for 90 percent of total spending. This is mostly due to cost-shifting.

7. Flow of Funds

Not only is the share of GDP to health care higher in 2012 than in 1929, but the wages of health care workers have also risen concerning wages of other types of workers. The Flow of Funds idea emphasizes that total dollars spent by individuals, the government, and other third-party payers for health care must equal total income earned by health care providers, administrators, and other health care workers.

8. Equity and Distribution

Socioeconomic differences in mortality found in the U.S. are most likely attributable to a lack of universal health insurance coverage.

9. Shifting Overhead

When a drug company advertises it will provide a prescription drug at no charge to certain individuals who cannot afford a doctor prescribed drug, costs are most likely being shifted away from individuals who are paying high prices to those who are paying nothing.

10. What is Economics?

Which of the following is not an example of the fundamental theorem of exchange?

A. You pay a fertility specialist $10,000 to perform an in-vitro fertilization procedure that does not result in pregnancy.

B. You donate your old, used eyeglasses to the Lions Club, a charitable organization that recycles and distributes the glasses to needy people.

C. You pay a fertility specialist $10,000 to perform in vitro fertilization procedure which results in pregnancy.

D. Unknown to you, your neighbor is tapping into your cable tv service and sharing your service.

E. You pay your optometrist $500 for a new pair of eyeglasses.

11. What is Economics?

To reduce the ache in your knees when you work out, you buy an elastic knee brace from the pharmacy section at the grocery store. This transaction differs from paying a surgeon to replace your knee joint because

A. you require a physician

Case Study

Skolnikland is in Eastern Africa, with a population of 30 million people. The country has a plains region, a hill region, and a region with high mountains. It has a number of ecosystems. The plains are dry for much of the year, there is some rainforest, and the rest of the country includes both hills and mountains. There are two seasons of heavy rainfall.

The citizens come from several ethnic groups that tend to live in their own regions and speak different languages. The ethnic groups largely follow one of three different religions. The large cities are mixed ethnically. One ethnic group is economically and socially very dominant. The people from this group live in the capital and most of the large cities. The national language is the language of this dominant ethnic group.

According to World Bank criteria, Skolnikland is among the poorest countries in the world. The economy has been growing at about 4% per year on average over the last decade, but the economy had very slow economic growth in the decades prior to that. The richest 10% of the population controls 80% of the national income.

About 80% of the people live in rural areas and 20% in urban areas. The number of people living in urban areas has been growing recently at an increasing pace. Most people earn their livelihood in agriculture but there is an increasing garment manufacturing industry in the two largest cities. There are also a number of mining industries. In addition, other export industries are beginning to grow, mostly focused on the export of commodities to China.

The total fertility rate is about 4.5 but it has been declining slowly over the last two decades, from over 6. There is an almost equal number of men and women in the population. Infant mortality is about 90 per 1,000 live births. Maternal mortality is about 500 per 100,000 live births. Thirty-five percent of the children are underweight for age.

The adult literacy rate is about 40%. The educational enrollment rate, especially for girls at the primary and secondary levels, has been growing slowly, but steadily. Most recently, this rate has been growing at an increasing pace and about 75% of the girls now attend school regularly, although many of them are of very low quality.

Only about 50% of citizens have access to safe water. Only about 30% have access to sanitary disposal of human waste.

HIV prevalence is 7% of the adult population. The number of new HIV cases annually has begun to plateau. About half of the people eligible for treatment for HIV are on treatment. Malaria is rampant in the plains.

Investments in the road system have been growing at a solid pace in the last decade and the use of private automobiles has begun recently to increase more rapidly.

Skolnikland has a pluralistic health system that is made up of public and private institutions, publicly financed providers, licensed private providers, unlicensed medical practitioners, and traditional healers. There is no health insurance, except for some free services for the poor in the few publicly financed hospitals, which the better off people do not attend. The health system is not very effective or efficient and is generally of low quality. The HIV, TB, and malaria programs are not effective or efficient and they are just beginning to adopt paradigms for services that follow global best practices.
