And that is a really strange omission. What’s missing from the Marginal Revolution web site is any understanding of how the principle of marginalism applies to health care.

Graham Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:04:14 +0000 http://www.john-goodman-blog.com/?p=9423#comment-55327 Prof. Cowen suggests that the British NHS provides "managed care" in the same sense that Kaiser Permanente or another U.S. HMO does. This is not the case (http://tinyurl.com/y9bvzkp, http://tinyurl.com/y9scl48). Indeed, the NHS has recently had a big PR emphasis on "choice", i.e. that you don't have to go to the specialist or hospital where your primary-care doc wants you to go (http://tinyurl.com/nlrxaq). Canada, which imposes the most monopolistic government control over access to medical services, uses fee-for-service in almost all cases.
