Half of Americans Live Where Population Is Too Low for Competition Source: NEJM 1993;328:148 A town’s only hospital will not compete with itself

“Mandate” Model for Reform Proposed by Richard Nixon in 1971 to block Edward Kennedy’s NHI proposal

“Mandate” Model - Problems Absent cost controls, expanded coverage unaffordable Computers, care management, prevention not shown to cut costs Adds administrative complexity and cost; retains wasteful private insurers Impeccable political logic, economic nonsense

The U.S. Trails Other Nations
