Assignment ( 500 words. Use APA reference format and the textbook for citations)

Most Americans receive their healthcare services through some form of managed care. Managed care was supposed to help lower the escalating costs of healthcare, but that promise has not yet been fully realized. In what ways has managed care been able to contain healthcare costs? Where has it failed? How has it affected the quality of care? Please provide examples from your personal experience, either as a healthcare professional or as a consumer.

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.
