Health Care Systems
  • Nearly every industrialized country has a
    national health care system.
  • Some countries have public or national health
    care systems, and other countries have private
    health care systems.

11
Public / NationalHealth Care Systems
  • Mainly funded by taxes and social security
    insurance.
  • Advantage Every citizen is guaranteed health
    care regardless of economic status.
  • Disadvantages Health care is not always
    comprehensive, and taxes may be higher.
  • Norway, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada

12
Private Health Care Systems
  • Mainly funded by private insurance agencies and
    out-of-pocket payments.
  • Advantages Coverage is often comprehensive,
    taxes may be lower, and economic growth is
    stimulated.
  • Disadvantage Not every citizen is guaranteed
    health care.
  • United States and Switzerland

13
Mixed Systems
  • Very few countries have a purely public or
    private system
  • Most countries create a mixed system by using
    various funding sources to cover health care
    expenses.
  • Example Canada and the United States

14
Health Insurance
  • The rising cost of health care is good for the
    economy, but the expenses are a burden for most
    individuals and families.
  • In the 1920s, the United States developed a
    system of health insurance to help cover the cost
    of medical expenses.

15
Health Insurance Terms
  • Premium the amount paid to an insurance agency
    for a health insurance policy
  • Deductible - the amount that must be paid by the
    patient before the insurance agency will begin to
    make payments
  • Co-payment - an amount paid by the patient for a
    certain service
  • Out-of-pocket - a medical bill that must be paid
    by the patient

16
Individual and Group Insurance
  • Individual insurance is when a person purchases a
    policy and agrees to pay the entire premium for
    health coverage.
  • Group insurance is generally purchased through an
    employer. The premium is split between the
    employer and the person being insured.

17
Managed Care
  • Two primary concepts of managed care
  • To promote good health
  • To practice preventive medicine
  • Managed care plans offer medical services through
    a system of health care providers. The system of
    providers offers services at reduced rates.

18
Managed Care
  • Health Maintenance Organizations
  • Preferred Provider Organizations
  • Point of Service

19
Health Maintenance Organizations
  • Clients must pay a premium, deductible, and
    co-payments.
  • Clients must visit in-network doctors and select
    a primary care physician.
  • HMOs urge clients to practice healthy living and
    to receive preventive treatments.

20
Preferred Provider Organization
  • Clients must pay a premium, deductible, and
    co-payments.
  • Clients do not have to choose a primary care
    physician.
  • Clients may visit non-network physicians, but
    coverage is greater with in-network physicians.
  • PPOs often have other fees and co-payments.

21
Point of Service
  • Clients must pay a premium.
  • Clients must chose a primary care physician.
  • For in-network physicians, there is usually no
    deductible and co-payments are low.
  • Specialists may be non-network physicians, but
    coverage may be limited

22
Government Programs
  • In the 20th century, the United States government
    began to realize the need for public medical
    assistance.
  • In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson instituted
    two medical assistance programs to help those
    without health insurance.
  • Medicaid
  • Medicare

23
Medicaid
  • Income or needs based program
  • Designed by the federal government, but
    administered by state governments
  • Usually includes individuals with low incomes,
    children who qualify for public assistance, and
    individuals who are blind or physically disabled.

24
Medicare
  • Program for any citizen age 65 or older
  • Administered by the federal government
  • After an individual pays a deductible, Medicare
    will cover 80 of all medical expenses.
