title: What is today's price for health?
abstract: As medical technology gets better and better, healthcare costs get higher and higher. How can costs be controlled without compromising the quality of healthcare delivery? The problem is a financial one, not a technological one, and the Reagan administration believes that the solution lies in restoring incentives for cost control to the patient and the provider. It is time to take a stand against a creeping antitechnology bias and encourage the private sector to begin to shoulder the burden of its own problem.
