  18. Mechanics of Systems Rebecca Seymour

  19. Mechanics of Systems US: Multiple Ways to Finance Care • Employer-Supported Insurance • Privately-Purchased Insurance • Government-Sponsored Insurance • The Uninsured

  20. Mechanics of Systems Uninsured 15%

  21. Mechanics of Systems– Employer Supported Healthcare • Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) • Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) • Point of Service (POS) • Health Savings Account (HSA)

  22. Mechanics of Systems– Employer-Supported Healthcare = 59%

  23. Mechanics of Systems– Privately Purchased Insurance = 9% • Self-employed or Work for companies not offering health benefits • Premiums based on individual health history, age, weight, smoking status and deductible chosen

  24. Mechanics of Systems– Government Sponsored = 28% • Medicaid • Medicare • VA Health Insurance

  25. Mechanics of Systems UK: One Way to Finance Care • National Health Service • World’s largest health service and fourth largest employer • Publicly funded by the taxation of the general public • Separate administration in UK colonies, but reciprocity

  26. Mechanics of Systems UK: One Way? • All citizens, Expats with work permits, Students there > 6 months • Most services free • How does it work? • GPs inform hospital of a patient's condition. • Hospital judges urgency, against other patients’ conditions. • Urgent need is met almost immediately. • Others receive appointments. (Median wait time ~ 3 weeks)

  27. Mechanics of Systems UK: Private Insurance • Currently, 12% of persons • 2/3 employer-provided; 1/3 individually-purchased • Privately insured go to NHS hospital or one of five private hospital groups. • Average individual premium = $260/month
