Supply and Demand in Healthcare Viability or Liability

/in /by

For the economist, healthcare often defies traditional rational economic models, theories, and rules. The buying and selling of goods and services, in general, defines economic transactions. These goods and services are traded or sold for a specific negotiated value. In many instances, price is the determining factor in the completion of a business transaction.

Healthcare is a derived demand, based on the perceived need to improve some condition or function. Healthcare demand differs from normal demand, because an individual does not control the onset of an illness nor its severity or duration. When this occurs, the demand for services increases regardless of the supply available or the cost associated with the care.

In healthcare, goods and services are not negotiable, may indeed be life threatening, and may force providers of goods and services to accept prices not even closely approaching the value they have assigned to them. To further this Discussion, consider the question: how is a value assigned to a good or service that may be the only step between life and death? Also consider the following economic question, especially as it pertains to healthcare: Who drives the healthcare market—the supplier or consumer?
