Evaluate the economic role of the U.S. government in the national health market. Identify at least one way you believe the government succeeds and one way in which you believe the government fails to wield its economic influence. Include a comparison to at least one other industrialized nation in your post. Furthermore, you may want to consider your answers to the following questions to help shape your evaluation:
Is the idea of a one-payer system viable for the United States?
What are the most IMPORTANT economic considerations in terms of the U.S. market structure and redistribution of income?
How do supply, demand, and elasticity affect decision making, and vice versa?
How is health insurance affected by the health market, and vice versa?
How do governments respond to market failure?
