In this article, author Christopher J. Kalkhof puts forth the view that the U.S. healthcare system could be made more cost effective and cost efficient without the implementation of government-directed managed competition strategies. Noting that current private sector initiatives already are forming more cost-sensitive integrated delivery and financing mechanisms, Kalkhof asserts that corresponding realignment initiatives for publicly financed healthcare benefit programs would provide additional incentive and momentum for these private sector efforts without requiring reconfiguration of the healthcare system by the government.
在本文中，作者克里斯托弗·J·卡尔霍夫提出了这样一种观点，即美国医疗保健系统无需实施政府主导的管理式竞争策略，也能够提高成本效益和成本效率。卡尔霍夫指出，当前私营部门的举措已经在形成更具成本敏感性的综合服务与融资机制，他断言，针对公共融资的医疗保健福利项目进行相应的调整举措，将为这些私营部门的努力提供额外的激励和动力，而无需政府对医疗保健系统进行重新配置。
