Question

We can offer you a couple of options "Dr. Kenton said. "Whatever will make the pain stay away, Ball said. "We can do coronary artery bypass surgery. Two are involved, so for you it would be a double hypes." "This isn't something experimental?" "No, it's a well-established procedure with a god safety record. About 80 percent who have get rid of their angina." "I don't much like the idea of being opened but I' d do most anything to stop those chest pales." "The other option is that we can treat you medically. We can try you on some drugs and shift your diet, and monitor the results. People we treat this way do a bit better in terms of life expectancy than those treated surgically. That's misleading, though, because those who surgery usually have worse cases of the " "What about the angina pains?" Czahz asked. " There's the problem.

But such basic packages often decline to cover or charge high co-insurance for some effective but expensive treatments. (The same criticism has been leveled at some of the cheaper plans offered on the ACA exchanges.) If it is not economically feasible to guarantee the best possible care for everyone, would it be better to provide no care to some who cannot pay, deny the best treatment to some who can pay, or offer several "tiers" of insurance, as does the ACA? Is a multi-tiered health care system compatible with a single-payer system? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach?
