Met diepgaande ervaring in de zorgverzekering issues en veranderingen, beschrijft de HBS faculteit hoe verbeterde competitie in verzekeringsplannen de waarde voor patienten kan verbeteren.  Professoren Regina E. Herzlinger, Robert Huckman, en Michael E. Porter meten de temperatuur van het badwater. Sleutel concepten zijn onder andere:

* “A government market with an underpriced Medicare would likely lead to the death of private-sector markets and products,” say Professor Regina E. Herzlinger and coauthor Tom Coburn (R-OK).

* Patients would like the option of a public insurance plan, according to Professor Robert Huckman.

* Competition among insurers should be based on improving patients’ health outcomes achieved per dollar spent, writes Professor Michael E. Porter.
