Abstract This paper analyzes the welfare effect from government sponsored insurance under two policy regimes for reimbursement levels – the first under which policy makers commit to a specific reimbursement schedule, the second which allows discretion in setting reimbursement schedules. We find that prices and quality will differ depending on which policy regimen is followed. We are able to identify a level for the policy maker’s elasticity of utility with respect to its policy tool under which government insured patients are unambiguously better off with policy commitment. The ordering of welfare is reversed if the elasticity of utility is reversed. In either case, privately insured patients may be better or worse off.

Assessment Activities

Policy makers in the United States have increasingly recognized the deficiencies in information related to technology assessment and quality assessment. This growing consensus resulted in the passage of legislation in 1989 to create a new Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and to expand substantially funding for assessment activities.
