A national health care system is extremely complex. Balancing the
needs of citizens, the medical community and insurance companies
is no easy task.
SimHealth gives you a chance to try your hand at patching up the
current U.S. system, or creating your own.
SimHealth is a policy simulation. After you declare your values
(balancing Liberty against Quality and Community against
Efficiency) you then create new policies and change existing
ones. You must come up with answers to complex questions such
as:
- How will medical costs be controlled?
- What benefits will be provided as part of the standard coverage?
- From what sources will insurance companies receive their funding?
Segments of each community suffer or flourish as a result of
these decisions and you are judged on the basis of whether the
policy decisions made are in line with the personal values you
declared.
