Healthy competition: What's holding back health care and how to free it.
America's health care system is faced with rising costs, quality concerns, and a growing number of people who lack public or private health insurance. Some blame market forces for this state of affairs, arguing that health care is too important for government not to get more involved. A recent book from the Cato Institute-Healthy Competition: Whats Holding Back Health Care and How to Free It-takes a different tack. In fact, the authors argue, many of the current health care challenges can be traced directly to pervasive government influence: entitlements, costly regulations and, perhaps most importantly, tax laws. They point out that consumer choice and competition deliver higher quality and lower prices in nearly every other area of the economy, and make a persuasive case that removing regulatory restrictions can do the same for health care.
