Twelve contributors focus on the two health reform proposals that have taken center stage--managed competition and global budgeting--addressing such issues as competition in California, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, and the record of state regulation on hospital revenues.
Both the economic and political effects of the varying proposals are considered in chapters by Bill Gradison, Stuart M. Butler, Charles Stalon, Bernard Friedman and Rosanna M. Coffey, Patricia Danzon, Henry N. Butler, Mark V. Pauly, Roger Feldman and Bryan Dowd, Alain Enthoven, Sean Sullivan, Walton Francis, and Jack Zwaniger, Glenn A. Melnick, and Anil Bamezai.
Editor Robert B. Helms is a resident scholar at AEI.
