Material Detail

Students are asked to identify and justify which of a series of microeconomic concepts they believe to be most important to informed decision making in the area of health insurance reform in the U.S.

This activity is most effective at the end of a principles course or a course in health economics, after students have covered basic market operations, taxes, subsidies, and market failure. It relies on an understanding of markets in general and health insurance markets in particular. In regards to the latter, I suggest having students come to class having read articles on the health insurance debate in the U.S.
