Because health care tends to be local,

Because health care tends to be local, as a policy maker, what would you do to encourage the larger community—retailers, restaurants, employers, schools, religious institutions, payers, and pro­viders—to improve the health of the community? Debate the role of government in these initiatives. Pretend you are an individual shopping for insurance. Describe the frustrations you might face as you explore the current insurance system. Some people view increases in health care spending as a response to consumer demand, while others see these increases as potentially wasteful spending. When other industry sectors assume a rising share of gross domestic product (GDP), it is viewed as a positive development. Should we be concerned about the rising costsof health care and its share of GDP? What types of health care spending might be classified as valuable? As wasteful? Recently lawmakers have questioned the pricing structure of pharmaceuticals, especially when EpiPen® reached a price of $300 per dose and top executives in the drug companies were given bonuses. Then CVS, a large pharmacy, announced they were going to purchase AETNA, a large insurer. All of these headlines have caused the public to the transparency of the pharmaceutical Industry. Discuss if there is any reason why the pharmaceutical companies should need to defend their business practices. After all, they are just trying make a buck. ADD REFERENCES
