Consumer dominance in healthcare

discussion for US healthcare

First part is :
In this online discussion we will discuss the history and evolution of the US healthcare system.

In particular, please comment on the following claim: In the 20th century, the US relied upon an employer-based model of health insurance in the private sector and public health insurance for the elderly, poor and chronically ill. In the 21st century, we are moving into a post-employer-based insurance model that expands the obligations for insurance coverage beyond employers and the government to individual citizens to find a way to have insurance coverage and access to care.

Will this result in a return to consumer dominance in healthcare where individual patients will have more control more of the US healthcare system? Or will the era of government dominance continue where patients have less control over their healthcare than in the past?

How do you think that the role of the medical profession will change during this period of time as well? Will they have more or less autonomy over their role in the healthcare system?

Second:

In this online discussion, we will discuss the role of health policy and the Affordable Care Act in today’s US healthcare system.

Many people have argued that the Affordable Care Act as it is currently written and implemented is the result of lobbyists and private interest groups exerting power and money over the political process to have the ACA be as favorable to them as possible. Please explain whether you agree or not with that statement and provide one reputable source (journal article, editorial, news source, etc…) that supports your position.
