This course will introduce you to the fundamentals of economic and insurance theories related to government intervention in insurance markets. In the first part of the course we will use basic microeconomic principles to analyze concepts such as scarcity of resources, tools of positive and normative analysis, supply and demand for insurance, requirements of an insurable risk and their violations as well as the economic view of government and reasons for government intervention in private markets. This part of the course will cover theories related to both the supply and demand for insurance. In addition we will explore the nature of economic security and insecurity, the basic principles of social insurance and comparisons of social verses private insurance. We will also learn and analyze, health, healthcare, and alternative theories of the demand for health insurance in order to compare and contrast private and national health insurance. We will then evaluate various social insurance programs using the tools of analysis we have developed in the course. In particular we will focus on OASDI (Social Security), Medicare, Medicaid and National Healthcare.

The goals of this course are to expose students to certain advanced topics in the design of health and welfare employee benefit plans; to improve the ability of students to work in groups and teams on common projects; to improve the writing ability of students through the use of a term paper completed by each student and the completion of a case study written with a group; and to improve the oral presentation skills of students through a presentation of the results of their particular case study. We will examine several major advanced issues in the operation and design of health and welfare employee benefit plans. These include the design and use of group term and permanent life insurance products, group disability income insurance, advanced alternative funding arrangements such as experience rating and minimum premium arrangements, cafeteria and flexible benefit plans under Section 125, benefits provided under the Transportation Equity Act (TEA) and miscellaneous benefits such as leave benefits such as FMLA and PTO.
