You have learned the intricacies of healthcare financing and growing
expenditures in the United States. Based on your readings and as reported by
NHE, you would agree that if the current spending levels continue, the U.S.
healthcare delivery system possesses a great danger to the U.S. economy.
Here is the million-dollar question: In your estimation, why does healthcare in
the U.S. account for such a huge chunk of the GDP in comparison to other
countries with comparable economies?
This week’s readings highlighted some drivers of healthcare expenditures and
their impact on the system as a whole. If we are able to identify reasons for
the exponential increase in healthcare expenditure, then how can it be
reduced?
Your assignment is to compare and contrast one country, whose healthcare
system you find interesting, to that of the US and discuss healthcare
expenditures for each. Consider the drivers of expenditures for each country
and list other significant features. Is the country of your choice spending as
much on healthcare? If not, what are the differences in spending and why?
