Discussion Question – Government-Subsidized Managed Care – Due Saturday the 10th by 12 Noon

Discussion Question:

 

The proponents of government-subsidized managed care in the U.S. want a plan that would be a single-payer universal health system managed by the federal government. Under such a system all Americans, young, old, poor, wealthy, working, or not working, would be covered under one plan; no Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Native American Health Service, private insurance, or HMOs would be included in the system. This one plan would pay for whatever healthcare a person needs. Many Americans oppose such a plan.

 

What do you think are the pros and cons of such a plan?

Would you want to be covered under such a plan?

Do you think you would be better or worse off with such a plan? Why?

Use the same Discussion Area to comment on your classmates’ submissions and continue the discussion until Wednesday, August 14, 2013. Comment on how your classmates would address differing views.
