Improving Healthcare: A Dose of Competition systematically
examines the American health care system from a
competition-oriented perspective. The volume surveys the
performance of each major sector of the health care system, and
identifies impediments to more effective competition. Improving
Healthcare examines such issues as competition v. regulation,
public and private sector approaches to health care financing,
cross-subsidies, licensure, provider market concentration,
financial and clinical integration, payment for performance,
quality, pharmacy benefit managers, direct-to-consumer advertising
of pharmaceuticals, certificates of need, mandates, unionization,
the significance of organizational status (nonprofit v.
for-profit), and the role of antitrust and consumer protection in
health care. It offers concrete recommendations to improve the
quality and cost-effectiveness of the American health care
marketplace.
