Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, methods and systems for modeling health care affordability across a population includes segmenting the population by demography and/or geography, determining chronic condition distribution across the population segments, modeling, across the population segments, medical service utilization distribution for a set of medical services, and calculating, using unit costs for each of the set of medical services, utilization costs for each population segment. The methods and systems may include calculating relative affordability metrics based on the utilization costs.

Abstract: A wafer shipping box includes a case and a positioning unit. The case includes a base, a cover, and a receiving space defined by the base and the cover. The positioning unit is disposed in the receiving space and includes a lower retaining member connected to the base, an upper retaining member connected to the cover, and a cassette disposed therebetween. The cassette includes two upright holding walls spaced apart from each other, each of which has a plurality of lateral confining slots aligned in a front-rear direction. The lower retaining member is formed with a plurality of lower confining slots, each of which is defined by two slot walls interconnected at bottom ends thereof to form a slot bottom. The slot bottoms are respectively misaligned from central positions of the lateral confining slots along the front-rear direction.
