A number of professional associations, such as the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association, support regulations that make it more costly for their members (for example, doctors and lawyers) to practice their services. While some of these regulations may stem from a genuine desire for higher-quality medical and legal services, self-interest may also play a role. Explain.
Draw a demand and supply diagram and use it to explain the effects of occupational licensure of physicians on the quantity, quality of care, and income of physicians in the market for physician services.

- The UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (CESCR) is charged with interpreting the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESR). In 2000 the Committee released General Comment 14, “The Right to the Highest Attainable Standard of Health”. The General Comment is important for advancing our understanding of a right to health under international law because it: (choose one) A) Sets out what has become known as the “3AQ model” addressing the conditions for health on the basis of Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, and Quality. B) Creates new, specific obligations with respect to the delivery health care services that are binding on all countries of the world C) Makes it clear that the absence of a right to health in the Canadian Charter or Rights and Freedoms means that Canada is in clear violation of its obligations under the ICESR.

This would involve making all hospitals not-for-profit institutions. Use the utility maximization model to explain the likely impact such a policy would have on the cost of producing hospital services. What would happen if instead a policy was instituted that reduced barriers to entry in the hospital sector and therefore made the market more competitive?arrow_forwardEven though the total cost of an uninsured hospital stay is lower, why would an uninsured person actually end up paying more than those with insurance?arrow_forward

Estimates of income elasticity are usually above +1.0.
