Ecomomics: Small Group Discussion Post 2

The group is now discussing:
How do we financing the backend of health?

A participant said, "...as a guiding principle you could say you can identify common sense modifications to practice in our healthcare system". Where common sense is not the standard of care, how do we make clear cut beneficial innovations?
  • What is at the core of the cost of healthcare?
  • Should everyone in the U.S. system have coverage not necessarily insurance but have a standard minimal of care?
  • Are we shifting behavior, predicting disease, and preempting that disease or disability?
  • What are we doing to start with the next generation?
    How long will it take for benefits of health reform to shift to our everyday lives?
