Answer to Question 1

One rationale for government intervention into health care markets is in the area of contagious diseases. Since contagious diseases are a type of externality because one person does not take into account that if they get it they can easily spread it to others, it provides a rationale for government helping to control and prevent the spread of disease. A second rationale for government intervention is in the dissemination of health care information. This rationale has resulted in the regulation of physicians and pharmaceuticals. A third rationale for government involvement is that many individuals cannot afford or obtain health insurance, a growing problem as health care costs have increased.

Answer to Question 2
