The nurse is attending a meeting sponsored by state political leaders, to discuss the possible passing of national health insurance in the United States
Which models of health care should the nurse discuss as a model for this type of insurance? (Select all that apply.)
1. Bismarck
2. Beveridge
3. Out-of-pocket
4. Veterans Administration
5. National health insurance
Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5
Countries with a national health insurance system include elements of the Beveridge and Bismarck models. These health systems use private-sector providers who receive payments from a government-run insurance program that everyone contributes to. Out-of-pocket health systems are based on the ability of the person seeking health care to pay for the services he or she receives. Veterans Administration is not a type of health insurance.
