abstract: With the U.S. health care system in crisis, policy-makers and analysts in this country are looking seriously at foreign systems for clues to how to restructure our own. And those experts are turning away from the centrally controlled Canadian and British health care systems as models for our own, and looking toward systems such as Germany's and Australia's, which offer greater choice and more diverse health care markets.
