title: Cash value health insurance: one answer to the crisis.
abstract: To address the demand managed care has created and bring the health care economy closer to market equilibrium, we must find a way to balance value and cost, by both using new tools and looking at critical issues in a different way. Although the concepts of consumer-driven health care described in this article are not the only health care cost-management solution, they are surely a next logical step.
