title: Some consequences of market forces in US hospitals: lessons for the new look NHS.
abstract: "We write", say Ann Greer and Scott Greer, "with the thought that an idea should not travel unencumbered by the experience of its implementation". They survey the arguments for a market in health care, describe the impact of competitive health policies in the USA and conclude that none of the expected benefits of the market have materialised.
