Regulation vs. competition.

Must we choose between regulation and competition as the remedy to today's skyrocketing healthcare costs? These two options are not necessarily mutually exclusive, and neither alone can best serve the needs of both the public and the profession. The heart of the current healthcare debate can be more accurately described as a system of individual restraint via the market versus a system of collective restraint arrived at through fixed budgets. Upon close examination of both viewpoints, it becomes apparent that a system in which regulation and competition coexist may be the best alternative in the long run for containing and redirecting total national healthcare expenditures.

He suggests directions the country might take toward establishment of a national health insurance policy administered by the states.
