1. Medicaid Questions a. The article titled Understanding the Intersection of Medicaid and Work states that 51% of non-elderly (i.e., 19-64) able-bodied adults in Medicaid (most of them eligible given the ACA Medicaid expansion option) are working full-time for the entire year. The article also states that 40% of the Medicaid individuals that are working, are employed by small firms and are involved in agriculture and service industries. The income eligibility threshold to qualify for Medicaid is very low (approximately $16,000 per year), do you think these individuals could purchase insurance in the private market? Why? c. Yes/No question: Does Medicaid provide assistance to beneficiaries?2. Medicare Questions a. According to the article titled Budget Explainer: Medicare, in 2017, 42% of Medicare costs will covered by general federal revenue (i.e., general federal taxes) as opposed to payroll taxes, premiums, and other receipts in 2017.

What two population groups within Medicaid are responsible for the largest program expenditures? Is there a realistic way to reduce the expenditures for these two groups? (hint: check Exhibit 9.1. in p. 120 of book)2. Some people argue that free market competition would resolve all the problems of our health care system. This theory assumes that the healthcare approximate a perfect market. After reading Chapter 20 and the article titled The Imperfect Health-Care Market: a. Do you think our health care system is a perfect or an imperfect system? (the question calls for your response in regard to the economic term (i.e., perfect market); we already know the system isnt perfect). b.
