In, The New Financial Order, professor Robert Shiller offers an in-depth analysis of how finance can and should be used to improve the human condition. By appropriately adapting financial instruments with risk, the consequences of many of life’s sudden shocks (natural disaster, loss of job, health crisis etc.) are readily ameliorated. Although he does not cover health insurance directly, his suggestions on how to better manage other types of risk point to an alternative viewpoint … away from the polarized “universal coverage” vs. “consumer-driven private coverage” debate. New bioinformatic strategies for managing health risk could readily be linked to financial instruments that more efficiently provide buffering to the economic consequences of illness.
