Overview

A fresh and comprehensive exploration of how health care spending deci sions are made, this book offers a comparative analysis of three alter native social mechanisms for making medical spending decisions: patien ts paying out of pocket; government officials, public advocates, or ot her centralized authorities setting limits; and physicians motivated t o make these decisions at the bedside. Since none of these mechanisms is uniformly superior, and each has its advantages, a mix of all three is inevitable.
