Medicare recipients can purchase supplemental private insurance (known as Medigap insurance) to fill the gap in coverage left by Medicare. This gap includes copayments, deductibles, and prescription drug expenses not covered by Medicare. Several years ago, the government enacted regulations that specify minimum standards for items that Medigap policies must cover. This made the policies more expensive, and as a consequence, about 25 percent of the elderly who would have purchased some Medi-gap insurance purchased none at all [Finkelstein, 2004]. Consider an individual who consumes two goods, "insurance" and "all other goods." The cost of a unit of Medigap insurance is $1, as is the cost of a unit of all other goods. Sketch a budget constraint and set of indifference curves that are consistent with the following scenario: In an unregulated market, an individual with a $30,000 income purchases $5,000 worth of Medigap insurance. The government then puts mandates on Medigap policies that…

- Why would payers want to add shared savings components to PMPM or enhanced FFS payments to primary care clinicians?arrow_forwardSome argue that the price elasticity of demand can be used to determine whether a good or service is a luxury or a necessity. In medical care, a procedure with an elastic demand would be considered optional, or elective, and a procedure with an inelastic demand would be a medical necessity. Should planners use price elasticity of demand as a guide to defining services that are medically necessary? What are the advantages of such a classification scheme? What are the drawbacks?arrow_forwardA recent trend in health insurance is the Health Savings Account (HSA). The idea behind Health Savings Accounts is that rather than providing employees with health insurance that makes visiting doctors cost little more than a simple $10 or $20 copay the employer gives the employee money to use to spend on health care, but the employee bares the entire cost of seeing the doctor. What money given for health care not spent by the employee can be withdrawn by the employee as if it was additional income. It is believed that Health Savings Accounts will reduce the total amount of money spent on seeing doctors. Using Supply and Demand analysis, explain why there is the expectation that HSA’s will reduce spending on doctors.arrow_forward
