- Herd immunity is not a new term. We know there is risk, controversy, and misinformation associated with vaccines. For this discussion, we will focus on Herd immunity and economics associated with disease management. Globally, many health experts are working to understand disease origin, progression, and the overall financial impacts of disease management. When it comes to pandemics such as COVID-19, what is the economic difference between treatments with preventative measures (vaccines) versus treating patients post infection for complications as needed? What makes the most economic sense as we move toward the goal of herd immunity?arrow_forwardMultiple Choice Adverse selection describes a situation where an individual's demand for insurance is positively correlated with the individual's risk of loss. Adverse selection occurs when someone increases their exposure to risk when insured. This can happen, for example, when a person takes more risks because someone else bears the cost of those risks. The relationship between smoking status and mortality provides a good illustration for adverse selection, especially in the case in which a life insurance company did not vary its premiums according to smoking status of its customers. To counter the effects of adverse selection, insurers may offer premiums that are proportional to a customer's risk.arrow_forwardWhich statement about the individual health insurance market in the U.S. is correct?
