Rules of the game: how public policy affects local health care markets.
This paper explores the impact of public policy on local health care systems in a representative sample of twelve U.S. communities. Site visits conducted in those communities suggest that public policy is an important force that shapes health system change, for instance, by establishing the underlying "rules of the game" for private and public actors and by influencing the decisions of national and regional entities to enter and exit local markets. These dynamics are explored through a discussion of several key policy areas, including Medicaid and Medicare managed care programs, state regulation of managed care, regulation of providers' rates, certificate-of-need rules, and oversight of conversions from nonprofit to for-profit status.
