Abstract:
For the past six years, the health sector has been introducing patient choice and competition into a system that had been largely dominated by top-down, centralized management. Incentives work, and competition works. We need to engage the power of consumers to make our health sector more efficient, more responsive to consumer needs, and more affordable.
