Healthcare paper

An important portion of the grade will be including the concepts of adverse selection, moral
hazard, and risk aversion as they apply to health care in your paper. Defining the terms is not as
necessary as showing that you know how to use and apply the terms in the health care industry.
Your opinion may be weaved through the paper as you wish, however the insurance market, life
expectancy, and international comparisons are to be included.

Part of the assignment is to find another paper (worth 8 points) that is applicable to the health
care debate (adverse selection, moral hazard, risk aversion, the insurance market or international
comparison). Note that this article will be graded on applicability (4 pts) and support of your
opinion (4 pts). Please attach a copy of the article to the paper.

The paper must conform to our defined standards: 1? borders (all FOUR borders), your name,
etc. in the header, 12 point Times New Roman font, double spaced and only one page (a second
page is only for references or citations, if needed). Proper spelling, use of grammar, etc. will
detract from the paper and therefore have points deducted. Please indent the beginning of your
paragraphs rather than using an extra line to separate paragraphs. The grading rubric below is
included as a guide in writing your paper.
