Some economists have argued that if the government wishes to subsidize health care, it should instead provide predetermined amounts of payments (based on the type of health care problems experienced) directly to patients, who then would be free to choose their health care providers. Whether or not you agree, can you give an economic rationale for this approach to governmental health care funding?

Consider the following estimates from the early 2010s of shares of income for each group. Use graph paper or a hand-drawn diagram to draw rough Lorenz curves for each country. Which has the most nearly equal distribution, based on your diagram?

Take a look at both Figure 30-8 and Figure 30-9. When health care programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act's health exchange system were created, Congress based projected costs on quantities of health care consumed at the time the programs were implemented. Was this a reasonable assumption given that the programs all cut out-of-pocket payments for beneficiaries? Explain.

During the past decade, many members of the baby boom generation have passed through ages ranging from the middle 40s to the late 50s. Do you suppose that the fact that there have been more members of this generation than other generations in the population during this past decade tends to imply that there was higher or lower measured inequality over the period? Why?

Why do you suppose that observers have proposed redesigning income maintenance programs to provide a "marriage premium" via extra benefits if adults with children marry?
