An interactive computer program called SimHealth: A Democracy and Society Computer Simulation was designed to help health insurance companies train employees to cope with new proposals for health care reform. The program, designed by Maxis, based in Orinda, CA, was funded by a $350,000 grant from the Markle Foundation. Starting with the assumption that someone has been struck by a car, the program furnishes grades according to the user's choice of available health care options.
Pac-Man it's not. But a computer game that lets users design their own simulated national health care system is catching on with insurers largely as an educational tool for employees.
