Write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you address the following:
• Describe Nursing Services in terms of how regulated it currently is.
• Do you think this current state of regulation is appropriate? Why or why not? What problems have arisen because of regulation or the lack thereof?
• What specific proposals do you have to increase, decrease, or otherwise modify regulation or government involvement within this submarket? What should the government’s role be in addressing issues of concern? What would be some potential consequences of these solutions?
• Who would most benefit from this change? Who might suffer negative consequences?

In what ways is health care an example of a market failure that requires government regulation? This chapter also describes the characteristics of public goods.
