This month, Professor Richard Kocur (business department) spoke on the healthcare industry, specifically tackling the \u201cMedicare for All\u201d movement popularized most notably by Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Kocur is not only personally interested in this subject matter, but he also focuses much of his independent research on this topic. Kocur started his lecture by reviewing the history of healthcare in the United States, then broke down the popular movement seen today and spoke on the implications of such a system in the United States. Kocur discussed how this would not work here due to myriad factors, and explained how those implications would affect the three major players in these scenarios: payers, providers, and patients. While some countries do have single payer systems, Kocur noted that the tax rates are significantly higher there to compensate for the costs, and as a result, certain parts of these nations\u2019 economies and even their own healthcare systems suffer from such a large influx of participants that take part in the system.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Kocur went on to talk about market-based ideas that the United States could possibly explore to remedy the situation, citing direct patient contracts, health savings account expansion, and the ability to purchase healthcare across state lines as potential viable options.<\/p>\n<p>The Center for Vision and Values is an organization on Grove City College\u2019s campus that employs student fellows in the fields of research and marketing to help promote their events and to aid in producing scholarly content for the organization and their partners.
