Extract

The high cost and inefficiency of the United States' health care system has been widely documented. These problems, augmented by increased government financing of the health cost spiral, have led policymakers to search frantically for programs and strategies which can interject a modicum of rationality back into the health care field. There has been general agreement among health care analysts about the need to control costs and even the principal causes of these rapid increases. However, there has been less agreement on appropriate and effective solutions. The following analysis will provide an overview of current problems and proposed solutions.
