Answer Question #1 through #4, and Question #6 below relying primarily on the course readings and other resource material presented in this class.

reference all resources used whether internal or external.

- Identify the market structure of your industry and analyze the key characteristics of your industry that lead to your identification of this market structure.
- Given this market structure, evaluate how prices charged for your services/products are determined.
- Evaluate how does the existence of private and public insurance influence the revenues you receive for this service/product.
- Given the government regulations impacting the health industry that have been discussed in this class, identify and discuss a government regulation that has been implemented in this industry.

In writing your memo, be sure to include
your name, and the health care industry or sector that you chose in the
subject line. In order for your boss to easily review your report,
please include section headers to correspond to the questions above. The
memo should be at least 4 double-spaced pages (excluding the cover page and reference pages).
