3. What is cost sharing, and how has this impacted health care?
4. What reimbursement methods are presently used? (e.g., bundled services, fee-for-service)
5. What are retrospective and prospective reimbursements? What are some positives and negatives of each?
6. Present and future national health expenditures. Provide a brief overview. How do they influence health care insurance at the present and how will they in the future?
