Beyond Health Insurance : Public Policy to Improve Health
Much of the debate about health policy in the United States has focused on the availability of health insurance coverage and the relatively large number of individuals who are uninsured.While tackling the problem of the uninsured might improve access to and utilization of health care, it would likely have little effect on the health of the population, as there is only a weak connection between health insurance coverage and health.Expanding health insurance coverage alone is unlikely to significantly improve the health of the population or narrow health disparities within the population, given that many of the major causes of poor health such as smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity are largely unaffected by health insurance.The narrow focus on the uninsured in the health policy debate comes at the expense of other policies that could improve health faster and more significantly for every dollar spent.It is well known that the United States spends approximately twice as much per capita on health care as most other developed nations, but that there is little difference in population health between the United States and other developed nations.This suggests that we are on the 'flat part of the curve' of health care spending with respect to health and as a result need to pursue other approaches for improving population health.In light of the imbalance in the health policy debate in the US, in November 2007, the Institute of Government and Public Affairs and the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois sponsored a conference entitled, Beyond Health Insurance: Public Policy to Improve Health.The purpose of the conference was to make available to the public new research on policies that can significantly improve the health of the US population.The conference focused on four areas: reducing racial and ethnic health disparities, preventing disease and promoting health, developing and regulating pharmaceuticals, and improving consumer information.

What is a term life insurance policy?
A term life insurance policy is a type of life insurance that provides coverage for a specific period of time, or "term," such as 10, 20, or 30 years. If the insured individual passes away during the term of the policy, the beneficiaries receive a death benefit. Term life insurance is typically more affordable than whole life or universal life insurance, making it a popular choice for individuals who want to ensure financial protection for their loved ones during a specific period of time, such as while paying off a mortgage or while children are still dependent. Once the term of the policy ends, the coverage expires unless the policyholder chooses to renew it or convert it to a permanent life insurance policy.

Health Policy in Asia : A Policy Design Approach
The book assesses the policy actions of select Asian governments (China, India, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand) to address critical health system functions from a policy design perspective.The findings show that all governments in the region have made tremendous strides in focussing their attention on the core issues and, especially, the interactions among them.However, there is still insufficient appreciation of the usefulness of public hospitals and their efficient management.Similarly, some governments have not made sufficient efforts to establish an effective regulatory framework which is especially vital in systems with a large share of private providers and payers.A well-run public hospital system and an effective framework for regulating private providers are essential tools to support the governance, financing, and payment reforms underway in the six health systems studied in this book.
