Subscribe to Healthy Competition
Welcome to Healthy Competition, an electronic newsletter produced by the Cato Institute. This periodic newsletter will feature health policy news, commentary, and resources from a free-market perspective.
The dominant view in health policy is that greater government involvement is required to finance and deliver high-quality medical care. This newsletter will present what is a minority view in health policy, but one that is widely accepted in other policy spheres: that individual choice and free markets do the best job of making products of ever-increasing quality available to ever-increasing numbers of people.
We aim to make this newsletter useful to those who make, influence, and report on health policy. We invite you to send your feedback to HealthyCompetition@cato.org.
