Web-Based Questions
- Web-Based Question: Hospital charges-visit
a hospital near you. Visit the American
Hospital Directory at www.ahd.com/ and search for two hospitals near
you. Compare their average charges and average length of stay. Which type
of treatment averages the most and which the least? Are the amounts for each
hospital similar? Does this imply competition? Without insurance, could you
afford an average heart operation at a hospital near you?
- Web-Based Question: AARP and health care-what
is its opinion? Visit the AARP home page, www.aarp.org/, and
select Legislative Issues. Describe two such issues relating to health
care or long-term care and summarize AARP’s positions. Do you sense
any particular bias in AARP’s views? Who would pay for greater government
benefits for older Americans?
