What is a fee-for-service healthcare model

Reference no: EM133318778

Question 1: What is a 'fee-for-service' healthcare model and how does it differ from a universal healthcare model? Provide one example (that was not included in the article) of a way in which a healthcare provider (any discipline) could unethically use a 'fee-for-service' model for personal or financial gain.

Question 2: The article describes how the Affordable Care Act could inadvertently cause patients to be 'undertreated' in healthcare. Do you agree with the author that this could likely occur with the provision of 'ObamaCare' (why or why not)? Have you or someone you know ever experienced feeling 'undertreated' due to reimbursement challenges or restraints on the healthcare provider/medical facility?

Question 3: What do you feel are the two greatest strengths of the Affordable Care Act and what do you feel are the two greatest weaknesses in terms of improving health outcomes, increasing accessibility, and/or decreasing healthcare costs in the United States? (Note: There is no right or wrong answer here... I want you to genuinely reflect on the Affordable Care Act from 'both sides' and critically think about how it impacts patient care).

Question 4: Given the materials you reviewed this week and your own personal life experiences, what is your personal viewpoint on healthcare in the United States and the Affordable Care Act? Should the Affordable Care Act be overturned, reformed, or left as is? Did this week's materials change your opinion or viewpoint in any way? Provide a rationale for your response. [Reminder - this is not intended to be a political brawl... The intention of this discussion is to allow all of you to see and try to understand various viewpoints. Any disrespectful conduct or behavior will not be tolerated and should be reported to the instructor immediately. Let's all learn from each other and learn that things in ethics, and life, are not always black and white.] :)
