Health Care Economics

Description: In this talk, we discuss the current state of healthcare in the United States. This includes an in-depth exploration of costs, access, and quality. Beyond this, explanations are offered for the dramatically increasing costs of healthcare, from premiums to fees for service as well as a discussion of different models for healthcare, or more accurately, health insurance provision. There are a variety of systems in place and we will discuss each and what role they play in the U.S. system of healthcare provision.
