Government in Health care
Economics
The U.S. president’s office has contacted the chief executive officer of the Patton-Fuller Community Hospital to obtain a health care organization’s perspective concerning the following three key health care issues that must addressed at the federal level:
¢ Health insurance coverage
¢ Prescription drug coverage
¢ Improving lifestyle choices at a population level
As a member of the senior management team at the hospital, you have been charged with compiling a segment of the response. You must focus on considering the economic aspects of the issues and whether any impediments may affect the effective implementation of programs which will address these issues. Discuss what the government may do to address these issues.
