Sowing the seeds of reform in 1994

The prospects for reforming health care financing revolve around five questions: (1) Will Congress mandate universal coverage? (2) Will Congress require employers to pay most of the cost of employee coverage? (3) Will Congress authorize effective limits on health care spending? (4) What role should regional health alliances play in the reformed system? (5) How much change in health insurance arrangements can be implemented over the remainder of this decade? The author argues that the prospects are slight for quickly implementing reforms as sweeping as those that President Clinton has proposed. But prospects are good for beginning a process that will lead to universal coverage and effective cost controls. The key is the creation of regional alliances.
