title: Responsible choices for achieving reform of the American health system.
abstract: "Responsible Choices" identifies the actions the private sector and government should take to improve the American health system and accelerate and expand the health care revolution that is already underway. Policy proposals are made for: Medicare; Medicaid; reforming the tax treatment of health insurance; insurance reforms and expanding group purchasing opportunities; and improving the availability of comparative information on health benefit offerings, quality accountability, and cost and coverage information. The recommendations refocus the Jackson Hole Group's original managed competition proposals contained in "The 21st Century American Health System" (1991).
