Modeling Data Related to Health Care in the US Dr. Paul A. West Department of Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science Objectives To create awareness about economic concerns related to the health care system in the US (pre healthcare reform). An article that documents past and projected (rising) health care costs in relation to future impact will be presented to the students. This article will illuminate the complex nature of national health spending and the economic burden health care costs can place on American households. Accompanying data and graphs for years 2000-2007 will show trends related to Americans individual health and prescription drug sales. Students will model this data using linear regression models in Excel, generate linear equations and make future predictions. Reflection This activity will reinforce the students' knowledge of line functions/equations This topic is important in light of the current health care reform debate (2010). Good, affordable health care is a necessity for every household. In doing the assignment students will engage in identifying healthcare issues within their households and family. Also, in using this information as motivation they will learn data analysis techniques a how Excel can be used to analyze the data. For the data analysis; students may be placed in groups to foster discussion and idea exchange (during class). Each group should have at least one student proficient in Excel. In the past, students reflected on the importance of understanding the issues when it comes to voting and how it can affect one's life Lesson Characteristics Math tonic. Application of Linear eguations
