This article reviews the attempts of the 1970s and 1980s to rationalize health care provision in the United States. It critically discusses the contorted debate between competition and regulation as a means of controlling health care costs. The second part of the article takes up Eli Ginzberg's contentions about American health care. We agree that the United States has not been able to control medical inflation because it lacks the necessary condition of concentrated finance. But we present evidence from public opinion polls in the 1970s and the 1980s that challenges Professor Ginzberg's contention that "there is no evidence that the American people want to change [their] system" of medical care.
本文回顾了20世纪70年代和80年代美国为使医疗保健服务合理化所做的努力。它批判性地讨论了作为控制医疗保健成本手段的竞争与监管之间的扭曲辩论。文章的第二部分讨论了伊莱·金兹伯格对美国医疗保健的观点。我们认同美国无法控制医疗通胀，因为它缺乏集中融资这一必要条件。但我们提供了20世纪70年代和80年代民意调查的证据，对金兹伯格教授“没有证据表明美国人民想要改变他们的医疗保健体系”这一观点提出了质疑。
