| Core Tip |
We examined how an individual mandate in the United States may affect rates of knee surgery. This topic is of great interest as the United States thinks about moving to a universal coverage model and to countries that already have such a system. We found that the rate of surgery increased after the implementation of mandated universal coverage. Also, we found that patients on lesser reimbursing insurance plans were not discriminated against compared to private insurance plans. |
