  • Title: Can restructuring health care financing hold down costs?
    Author: Sigmond RM.
    Journal: Trustee; 1978 Sep; 31(9):44, 46, 50. PubMed ID: 10238291.
    Abstract:
    Various proposals have been made to restructure health care financing arrangements in the interests of cost containment and a more efficient delivery system. The proposals include prospective payment arrangements, capitation payment arrangements, and methods to encourage consumer cost sharing and cost awareness. Most promising of the proposals are those that encourage joint community action by coalitions of hospitals, physicians, Blue Cross-Blue Shield Plans, commercial insurers, consumers, and industry.
