| Abstract: |
The article examines the current state of the U.S. health care system and presents views on the shape that reform should take in response to the article "Making Competition in Health Care Work" by Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg, Michael E. Porter, and Gregory B. Brown in the July-August 1994 issue. Looking at the matter, the author comments that legislators and other government agencies should resist instituting unnecessary, and potentially damaging, health care policies that could result in additional layers of bureaucracy, diluting competition and interfering with innovation. Further, the government cannot and should not tackle the system of cost without considering a total solution involving quality of care and better outcomes. |
