Reorganizing The Financial Flows In American Health Care

The essays in this volume concentrate heavily on "managed competition," which is merely a particular form of controlling the flow of funds from an insurance pool to the providers of health care. By contrast, this essay emphasizes the funneling of money into the insurance fund. It is argued inter alia that American business has been a quite unreliable partner in the financing of American health care and also a major cost driver. A reformed health system should reduce the role of business to the mere collection of premiums at the nexus of payroll.
