Summary
  • Freely operating health care markets will not produce and allocate health care services efficiently, and they will not provide the distribution of services that Americans have historically favored. By offering thoughtful commentary on the major trends in health care, the book provides a much-needed resource for health care providers, managers, and administrators as well as government policymakers.
  • In this timely book, a distinguished group of sixteen health care experts, including physicians, political scientists, sociologists, and economists, identify and assess the challenges and opportunities raised by America's emerging competitive health care system. As the authors explain, health care markets have characteristics that do not conform to competitive conditions.
