1. Case Study 2: Health Care Needs Real Competition
NO PLAGIARISM, APA FORMAT, APA LEVEL HEADING
BOLD & CENTERED, CONCLUSION
The U. S. health care system is inefficient, unreliable, and
crushingly expensive. There is no shortage of proposed
solutions, and health care needs more competition. In other
sectors, competition improves quality and efficiency, spurs
innovation, and drives down costs. All stakeholders in the
health care industry - regulators, providers, insurers, employers,
and patients themselves -- have roles to play in creating real
competition and positive change. In particular, five catalysts
will accelerate progress: put patients at the center of care,
create choice, stop rewarding volume, standardize value-based
methods of payment, and make data on outcomes transparent.
