Case Stady

After having a very successful performance and getting second place on the first Littlefield simulation game we knew what we needed to do to win the second simulation game. We were very eager to outperform our competition and we almost did so, but ended up in second place again with a cash balance of $2,660,393.

This memo is intend to present appropriate treatment of the ARO estimation problem experienced by the Lack of Information (LOI) based on the findings from interviews with all 50 of the warehouse managers and on-site visits at each of the 50 locations of its warehouses countrywide. The onsite observations search for any evidence of damages in both the on-site property like the roof, walls, floors and general conditions. The interview with the managers obtains information about the characteristics of the warehouses that are not readily observable. The information obtained is very important in the preparation of the fiscal

What does it cover? “It cost around fifty dollars to see the primary doctors, and specialize doctor seventy-five dollars.” (www.ehealth.com, 2014) “The prescriptions cost from range from fifteen dollars for generics to out of the pocket on some name brand drugs.” (www.ehealth.com, 2014) Some the name brand drugs are mental disorder and they cost up to thousands of dollars for this one of those prescriptions alone. “Surgeries, x-rays, cat-scans, M.R.I’s all them are half of the cost of the procedure. That does not count price of ER is five hundred dollars and every day you stay in the hospital it extra five hundred dollars you pay every day that you are in there.” (www.ehealth.com, 2014) It would be cheaper than paying out the pocket for a hospital stay or most of those things besides the name brand prescriptions it the same price.

That means they will miss fewer days of work, be less likely to become disabled, spend more years in the workforce, and be more productive while on the job. Recent evidence bolsters the case that health insurance coverage can have important benefits for long-term labor market outcomes”(Jason). This made people’s lives way much easier and give more time for them to spend time with their families. All Americans are required to get health insurance and are free to choose the doctor that they prefer. But in Canada, most French providers, including hospitals, are private businesses. The United Kingdom is different and it has a opened healthcare system which is funded and controlled by the government through taxes. There are more people in Texas who have Obamacare than people in Florida. Most doctors, specialists, and hospitals are all paid by government, not insurance

There are so many different health care providers and types of health care services that we as consumers can receive. All those different services or facilities are going to have competitive prices for our medical care. I think a patient as a consumers are going to benefit from this. Not only do medical facilities have competitive prices but also insurance

This system most importantly will save Americans money. With common nuisances like premiums, co-payments, and deductibles eliminated leaves us Americans with more money in our pockets. Statistically speaking 95% of all households would save money. A patient shouldn’t have to be denied treatment because of the inability to provide out of pocket fees for medical services.

The U.S. spend billions of dollars every year on preventative care such as heart disease, cancer, AIDS and many more disease; millions more are spent on trying to find a cure for disease such as MS, MD, AIDS, cancer, polo and so many more. The advantage to the U.S. would come by way of universal health care as it is today. With different measures of insurance coverage, a person benefits more by having the freedom to choose which health care and insurance needs are suitable for them, rather than being confined to only one group (Chernichovsky & Leibowitz, 2010).

While other shelters might screen out the intoxicated, the active drug users, the ex-offenders, or those with

Someone without health coverage are less likely to receive preventative care and therefore more likely to become ill which increases medical costs, [1].

With the current healthcare system in the United States there are many people who do not have health insurance due to cost.

It is costing facilities more money to treat uninsured citizens due to having to write off uncollected debt because most uninsured cannot pay for the services. As prices for expenditures continue to increase it reduces the access to health services by making it more difficult for many people to purchase the services or the insurance needed to cover the services (Longest, 2010). By getting the government involved, it will give the opportunity for those 82,000 to be able to seek medical care and be covered.

When an individual or family does not have insurance, and can not or does not pay their medical bills, the cost of that care is "shifted" to patients who do have insurance. For example, a study done by Harvard University found that 50 percent of all bankruptcy filings were partly the result of major medical expenses. The average medical expenses in these bankruptcy filings were $12,000. And someone files bankruptcy every 30 seconds in this country. (National Coalition on Healthcare, 2005, Facts on health care costs). Most of those lost dollars are shifted to consumers in higher premiums and costs.

Moreover, the benefits of expanding coverage outweigh the costs for added services. [4] Safety-net care from hospitals and clinics improves access to care but does not fully substitute for health insurance. These findings are supported by much research, although some cautions are appropriate in using these results. People with health insurance are protected against uncertain and high medical expenses and are more likely to receive needed and appropriate health care. In addition, having health insurance is associated with improved health outcomes and lower mortality, so employees with health insurance are more likely to be productive workers. You do not pay income tax on health insurance benefits so it is more valuable per dollar than the same amount in taxable pay. [5]
