rue or False (Justify your answer briefly) (a) Potential outcomes are never observed. (b) Let Y0i and Y1i be the two potential outcomes from a binary treatment. The causal effect of the treatment on the outcome for observation i is Y1i − Y0i. (c) If we assume the individual treatment effect τi = Y1i − Y0i is the same across i, then τi can be estimated. (d) Random assignment is the same as random sampling. (e) Sampling bias is the same as selection bias. (f) If treatment is randomly assigned, then treatment is independent of the outcome

Assume that people receiving intervention A live 5 years at quality of life of 0.8 and people receiving intervention B live 10 years at quality of life of 0.4. Assume further that the two intervention have equal costs. Compare the cost-effectiveness of these interventions relative to each other and discuss how that would be altered by inclusion of future costs for younger adults and older adults.
For Pancreas Transplant, DRG code is 010. For DRG 010, Medicare pays fixed amount of $21,313.50. Outlier threshold for Medicare is $25,800. (a) John admitted hospital A for pancreas transplant. The charges for John’s treatment was 128,000. Cost to charge ratio for Hospital A was 0.10. How much payment hospital A would get from Medicare? (b) Bryan admitted hospital B for pancreas transplant. The charges for Bryan’s treatment was same as John, $128,000, but cost to charge ratio for Hospital B was 0.25. How much payment hospital B would get from Medicare?

ЕОC 12.02 Suppose you are the mayor of a town and you want to increase safety at an intersection. A traffic light will increase safety and reduce fatality risk by 0.5% but costs $100,000. Suppose the value of human life is estimated at $10 million. Should you spend the money to install the traffic light? (Hint: to multiply 1% by 200 you follow this process: 0.01 x 200 = 2). Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a Yes, since the expected benefit ($500,000) exceeds the cost. b Yes, since the expected benefit ($150,000) exceeds the cost. No, since the expected benefit ($50,000) is lower than the cost. d No, since the expected benefit ($15,000) is lower than the cost.

What is the true cost of going to the doctor? options: The amount you pay minus the amount your insurance covers (i.e. the amount you pay out of pocket) The amount you pay out of pocket, plus the worth of the time you lose while waiting, plus the travel cost, plus the increased risk of being infected with Covid-19 while at the doctor's office There is no cost if your insurance is good enough.
