Health care costs in the United States are much higher than in other countries. These cost differences can be explained in part by a lack of competition in the United States. Some markets, such as pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, have elements of monopoly. Other markets, such as health insurance, have elements of monopsony. Many other markets may be subject to collusion on prices, such as generic drugs, or wages, such as the nurse labor market. Lawful monopoly and monopsony are beyond the reach of antitrust laws, but collusion is not. When appropriate, vigorous antitrust enforcement challenging anticompetitive conduct can aid in reducing health care costs. This book addresses monopoly, monopsony, cartels of sellers and buyers, horizontal and vertical merger policy, and antitrust enforcement through private suits as well as the efforts of the antitrust Agencies. The authors demonstrate how enforcing antitrust laws can ultimately promote competition and reduce health care costs.

Le système français de santé est contesté. Inquiets devant l'annonce des dépenses qu'il entraîne, les citoyens sont désemparés face à la complexité des problèmes et la multiplicité des solutions proposées. Cet ouvrage a pour objet d'expliquer, de suggérer, d'éviter les partis pris. À côté des facteurs économiques auxquels on songe toujours, il fait apparaître, par exemple dans l'analyse de la demande de soins, le rôle des variables démographiques et culturelles. Le livre insiste aussi sur la manière dont se forment les coûts, une place particulière étant accordée aux comportements des acteurs et aux difficultés du contrôle. L'étude examine également la tarification dans les secteurs privés et publics, et la question du financement, la préférence étant donnée à une fiscalisation partielle des dépenses. Dénonçant enfin le caractère inadapté de certains projets de réforme, elle met l'accent sur l'intérêt de l'application des méthodes économiques, application à laquelle pendant trop longtemps la santé a échappé.

In our rapidly advancing scientific and technological world, many take great pride and comfort in believing that we are on the threshold of new ways of thinking, living, and understanding ourselves. But despite dramatic discoveries that appear in every way to herald the future, legacies still carry great weight. Even in swiftly developing fields such as health and medicine, most systems and policies embody a sequence of earlier ideas and preexisting patterns. In History and Health Policy in the United States, seventeen leading scholars of history, the history of medicine, bioethics, law, health policy, sociology, and organizational theory make the case for the usefulness of history in evaluating and formulating health policy today. In looking at issues as varied as the consumer economy, risk, and the plight of the uninsured, the contributors uncover the often unstated assumptions that shape the way we think about technology, the role of government, and contemporary medicine. They show how historical perspectives can help policymakers avoid the pitfalls of partisan, outdated, or merely fashionable approaches, as well as how knowledge of previous systems can offer alternatives when policy directions seem unclear. Together, the essays argue that it is only by knowing where we have been that we can begin to understand health services today or speculate on policies for tomorrow.
