Read the case study “Case 3: International Comparisons: Where Else Might We Go?” in your textbook, Health policy analysis: An interdisciplinary approach (3rd ed.). In a 4-5 page paper, answer the questions below: In most of these countries, does universal coverage provide the gold standard of care? Does rationing occur in these countries? How is it different from rationing in the United States? Do revenues used to pay for health care tend to come from a single source or many? What steps do these countries take to assure that payments required of individuals do not become a barrier to access? To what extent do you think the crafting of the ACA relied on experiences in other countries? Can you think of examples of policies or countries that may have been influential? Which of these policies would you like to see the United States adopt next? Why?
