Hi Muir,
What you say is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient condition. The objective of the health care system and 'those who spend the money', also have to be aligned. Simply making the opportunity cost visible will not ensure that they make choices consistent with the health system's objective. The incentive system for those spending the money have to reward choices that promote the systems objective and punish ones that dont. Thanks for sharing Dr. Relman's article.

“ In my collection of ten classic articles on better value healthcare, eight come from the United States.” Can you give me the details for these please? Many thanks.
