If the "Business Model" of Medicine Is Sick, What's the Diagnosis, and What's the Cure? Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • James P. Whalen is not alone in claiming that the business model of medicine has made the U.S. health-care system too expensive, inaccessible, inequitable, and mediocre. His misdiagnosis of what ails American health care, however, leads him to prescribe less of what the system needs to improve: real competition.
