what can we agree in the given statement, what role
should government play in Healthcare?
A competition that would exists in the health care
industry would be having multiple organization or entities being
able to perform an extended service and the cost is different. If
the providers are wanting to accept the job but cost more they may
make the adjustment of lowering their cost of service. The
advantage would be presented to the beneficiary of the service
because the organization or entity are willing to lower their
prices for you; while the disadvantage would belong to the facility
who lowered their prices more to accommodate the beneficiary.
Another example would have to place with private insurance
companies. Premiums differ from cost, accessibility to facilities
and services, and the overall coverage of the insurance provider.
In the second example the beneficiary is at the advantage because
their basically free agents and can sign up for the best insurance
policy that works for themselves or their family.
