FEDERAL HEALTH POLICY March 3-5, 2000 The purpose of the course is to provide an economic framework for understanding legislative and regulatory policy in the health field. Health care firms compete in two markets, economic markets and political markets. To gain a competitive advantage, a CEO requires successful strategies in both markets. Using traditional economic tools of marginal analysis and supply and demand, political strategies at an industry level will be discussed. An economic framework will also be used for analyzing health policies that have as their stated purpose improvements in the redistribution of medical services, such as Medicare Reform, Prescription Drug Benefits to Medicare recipients, and National Health Insurance. During the weekend there will be two group assignments requiring the application of microeconomics to political behavior.
