April 8 HPAP

The topic for Health Policy and a Pint this month is fundraising. There are several ways to collect money to pay for health care, including:

1. Taxes
2. Insurance Premiums
a. Employer
b. Individual
3. Out of pocket
a. Co-payments
b. Co-insurance
4. Health Savings Accounts (combination out-of-pocket and tax incentives)

Below is a link to the online version of a book with everything you might ever want to know about health care financing. I'll put up separate posts with background info on these topics as I find it. We will also have brief presentations before our discussion. I hope to see everyone at the Kitty Cat Club tomorrow at 5!
