? What are the pros and cons to the potential of over-utilization of the health care delivery system in a zero out of pocket cost to the patient?
? Would providers be able to provide better care since patients would seek medical care sooner when an illness or injury warrants medical attention, or would they be overwhelmed with both patients with real illnesses, and patients seeking care for minor or imagined illnesses?
? Can Americans expect the government to do a better job of allocating scarce resources in the health care sector than private enterprise?
? Can health care be considered intractable, like poverty, on the world stage?
? Are there sufficient resources anywhere to dedicate solely to health care services?
? From a normative perspective, does economic analysis change the direction of a policy initiative once it gains political and or popular support?

United States Innovation and Advantage

Some academics and business leaders have started to believe that the innovation advantage the United States has traditionally enjoyed has begun to erode. They cite the intense focus on developing innovation in emerging economies and in established economies in Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, as well as the continued erosion of factors such as educational attainment in the United States.

Others argue that the United States has a cultural advantage over many of these countries that drives innovation and will help the United States sustain this advantage for many years to come.

Discuss your view on whether or not the United States is beginning to lose its innovation advantage and cite the evidence on which you base your view, with examples of organizations that have lost their advantage. Also, consider those who pivoted and remained relevant and maintained their innovative edge.
