1. Should factors such as Medicaid costs and revenue for the organization be considered when discussing scarcity?
2. Is there a way to remove any bias based on the allocation of funding? Is there a way to make these procedures equal? If so, how?
3. What rationale did you use to rank the interventions? Did you use only economic approaches or did you also take into account the moral and ethical issues associated with scarcity?
4. Do you think it is appropriate for Medicaid patients to have access to services that might be different than those patients who have Medicare or private insurance?
