The reform required people without health insurance (at least those who could afford it) to buy insurance, and put in place penalties on those who nevertheless chose not to buy insurance. Below is the abstract of a recent National Bureau of Economic Research working paper entitled “Health Reform, Health Insurance, and Selection: Estimating Selection into Health Insurance Using the Massachusetts Health Reform” by Martin Hackmann, Jonathan Kolstad, and Amanda Kowalski. The authors conducted a study of the effects of the Massachusetts reform. They write: We implement an empirical test for selection into health insurance using changes in coverage induced by the introduction of mandated health insurance in Massachusetts. Our test examines changes in the cost of the newly insured relative to those who were insured prior to the…arrow_forward

Some members of the population may be infected with both viruses. While diseases X and Y are similar in that they are both sexually transmitted diseases, the disease X is much more harmful to its carriers than the disease Y is to its carriers. Condom use is highly effective in preventing the transmission of either disease. Suppose scientists discover a cure for the sexually transmitted disease X. This cure (a vaccination) will eliminate the virus causing the disease X from its carrier before its carrier can suffer any harm from the virus. Everybody is immediately given this vaccination against the disease X. a What do you expect to happen to the prevalence of the virus causing the disease X in the population? Draw a graph with time on the horizontal axis and prevalence…arrow_forward
- In the RAND study, two plans had full coverage for spending within the hospital, but one had a $150 deductible for ambulatory care. The plan with the ambulatory care deductible had a lower probability of hospital admission (0.115) per year than did the plan with full coverage for everything (0.128), even though both plans covered hospital carefully. Based on the above, discuss the comparison between the use of hospital and ambulatory care and whether these two types of health care are substitute or complementary goods.arrow_forwardAn article in JAMA by Mandelblatt et al (2002) compared the societal costs and benefits of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, Pap testing, and their combination to screen for cervical cancer.

The following table summarizes some of the results (low cost to high cost). Costs include screening and treatment costs, discounted over the individual’s expected lifetime.

- One-Jet Airlines has 100 customers and is the only airline servicing two small cities in the Midwest. Half of One-Jet’s customers are leisure travelers and half are business travelers. Business travelers are willing to pay $600 for a ticket that does not require a Saturday stayover and $100 for a ticket that requires a Saturday stayover. Leisure travelers are flexible, willing to pay $300 for a ticket regardless of whether it requires a Saturday stayover. One-Jet is unable to determine whether a particular customer is a business or leisure traveler. Consequently, the airline’s current pricing policy is to charge $300 for all tickets. As a pricing consultant for One-Jet Airlines, can you devise a self-selection mechanism that will permit One-Jet to increase revenues and continue to serve all its customers?
