CASE STUDY:

Carlton is 55 years old and about 30 pounds overweight. As a younger man he hiked with his father and brother, which he enjoyed very much. Unfortunately his father died several years ago and his brother moved away after he married. Carlton was able to move into half of a two-bedroom apartment. He generally liked people and was always talking about wanting to go hiking again. When a new support person started working, Carlton started telling him how much he wanted to go on some hikes. Rob, the new
support person, agreed to take him on a hike but only if Carlton could get into better shape. He also told him that it might take a few months, even if Carlton was really excited. Rob knew that he had to get into shape also.

cost control between Germany, Canada, The United Kingdom, and Japan varies and differs from one another. In Japan, costs controlled and the health care system is determine and relies on payroll taxes and thus requires a large employed population. But with a low birth rate and the longest life expectancy in the world, Japan’s population is aging faster than that of other developed nations. In contrast, in Canada, Canadians have found a way to deliver comprehensive care to their entire population at far less cost. In 1970, the year before Canada’s single-payer system was fully in place, Canada and the United States spent approximately the same proportion of their gross domestic products on health care—7.2% and 7.4%, respectively. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, Two major factors allow the United Kingdom to keep its health care costs low: the power of the governmental single payer to limit budgets and the mode of payment of physicians. While Canada also has a single payer of health services, it had traditionally paid most physicians fee-for-service. In contrast, the United Kingdom relies chiefly on capitation and salary to pay physicians; payment can more easily be controlled by limiting increases in capitation payments and salaries. Moreover, because consultants (specialists) in the United Kingdom are NHS employees, the NHS can and does tightly restrict the number of consultant slots, including those for surgeons. Moreover, in Germany, German health care costs resumed an upward surge, paving the way for a 1993 cost-control law restricting the growth of sickness fund budgets. However, Germany’s health care expenditures as a percent of GDP have continued to rise, from 8.3% in 1990 to 11.3% in 2012. Germany has not fully solved the problem of rising health care expenditures.
