 | | Health and sickness are vague terms open to endless construction. | | | Advances in medical technology along with the growing acceptance of medicine as a science led to the development of hospitals as treatment centers and helped to encourage sick people to visit physicians and hospitals. | | | A problem with moral hazard may arise if people change their behavior -- perhaps engaging in more risky activities -- after they purchase health insurance. |

| | This practice is especially criticized by those who have already tried, and not benefited from, all "standard" medical treatments for their condition. | | | Countries which have publicly funded medicine don't do as much medical research and development as there is very low payoff to developing new drugs and medical techniques. | | | This phenomena is in essence the consequence of reduced prices for medical care. |

| | Job mobility of husbands is 25 percent to 32 percent lower when their wives do not have employment-based health insurance (7). | | | The percentage of people with employment-based health insurance has dropped from 70 percent in 1987 to 59.8 percent in 2004. | | | Lack of insurance compromises the health of the uninsured because they receive less preventive care, are diagnosed at more advanced disease stages, and once diagnosed, tend to receive less therapeutic care and have higher mortality rates than insured individuals (8). |
