The Case for Incentivising Health document is based on Australian data, but the challenges of combating chronic disease there are similar to the challenges present in the United States. Read the case carefully and consider the list of behavioral economic cues listed in the executive summary on page seven. Address the following questions:

• Which of these cues do you consider to have the most impact in terms of changing healthcare behaviors of the patient?
• Which of them would you most readily respond to as a patient?
• Which cues do you think are most likely to be adopted by providers and insurance companies?

Support your responses with examples from your own experience, the case, or references to the textbook (Economics for Healthcare Managers) or other scholarly sources.
