Healthcare industry problems call for cooperative solutions.
The complexity of problems facing American health care--from extending health benefits to the uninsured to caring for people with acquired immune deficiency syndrome--require cooperative solutions involving providers, insurers, and policy makers.

Among the items on the agenda: further growth of managed care; continued attempts to control costs and utilization; and sharing the burden of risk with consumers.
