DESCRIPTION:Does competition work in health care?
A significant proportion of health spending has no impact on health. Market failure seems to dominate\, leading to significant government involvement and regulation of health care markets. This talk will summarise the issues and evidence on the effect of competition in health care markets. Pro-competitive reforms can improve efficiency in some contexts\, but careful regulation is also necessary to ensure desirable outcomes.
