AB  - Chapter  2  described  the  different  modes  of  financing  health  care:  out-of-pocket  payments,  individual  health  insurance,  employment-based  health  insurance,  and  government  financing.  Each  of  these  mechanisms  attempted  to  solve  the  problem  of  unaffordable  care  for  certain  groups,  but  each  “solution”  in  turn  created  new  problems  by  stimulating  rapid  rises  in  health  care  costs.  One  of  the  factors  contributing  to  this  inflation  was  the  payment  of  physicians  and  hospitals  by  insurance  companies  and  government  programs.  Currently,  new  methods  of  payment  are  being  tried  to  lower  the  growth  rate  in  health  care  costs.
