How fee and insurance changes could affect dentistry: results from a microsimulation model.

Dentists have become concerned about the possible impact of reductions in dental insurance coverage. The authors used a microsimulation model of the dental sector to assess the potential impact of reductions in the percentage of Americans with dental insurance, in universal dental insurance coverage for children and in fees paid to dentists for their services. The model predicted that reductions in dental insurance coverage would reduce per capita dental expenditures, but that the impact would not be large. Fee reductions had the greatest impact on dental expenditures of any change simulated by the model.

A university medical center occupational health service: shoes for the cobbler's children.

A university medical teaching center can provide adequate health care for its employees by using the medical manpower and facilities it already possesses. Certain elements are of prime importance in the success of the development of such a service: (1) organization--concise knowledge of objectives, cost, and benefits, with emphasis on employee satisfaction; (2) staff--selection of interested, imaginative medical personnel and use of expanded role nurses as full-time health providers requiring a minimum of direct medical supervision; (3) collaboration--participation by both medical and nursing professions, educators as well as clinicians, in the formulation and direction of the service.

The effect of government policies on out-of-wedlock sex and pregnancy.

Neither the level of AFDC benefits nor the AFDC acceptance rate appear to serve as economic incentives to out-of-wedlock childbearing; nor does the availability of contraception and abortion seem to encourage teenagers to initiate sexual activity. However, the availability of subsidized family planning services does apparently lower pregnancy rates, especially among black teenagers; and the availability of abortion seems to reduce substantially the incidence of out-of-wedlock childbearing, especially among whites.
