Why what is the number of nurses per 100,000 people a better measure of the availability of healthcare than a simple count of the number of nurses in a state
Thuc N.
Intensive care units (ICUs) generally treat the sickest patients in a hospital. ICUs are often the most expensive department in a hospital because of the specialized equipment and extensive training required to be an ICU doctor or nurse. Therefore, it is important to use ICUs as efficiently as possible in a hospital. Suppose that a large-scale study of elderly ICU patients shows that the average length of stay in the ICU is 3.9 days. Assume that this length of stay in the ICU has an exponential distribution. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Long-term care for the elderly involves helping individuals with activities (such as bathing, dressing, and toileting) that they cannot perform for themselves. How were these needs taken care of a century ago? Explain why moral hazard and adverse selection make long-term-care insurance so expensive today that few people choose to buy it.
