About this simulation

Advise the Costaria Ministry of Health on three connected economic decisions — Grossman demand for health, insurance-pool architecture (M1–M6 levers), and provider payment mix (FFS/capitation/P4P/bundled) — and discover that no national health system gets all three right at once. Anchored on Arrow (1963), RAND HIE, Einav-Finkelstein, and the iron triangle of cost / quality / access.
