'Responsible choices': the Jackson Hole Group plan for health reform.

"Responsible Choices" identifies the actions that the private sector and government should take to improve the U.S. health care system and accelerate and expand the health care revolution that is already underway. Policy proposals are made for Medicare; Medicaid; reforming the tax treatment of health insurance; insurance reforms and expanding group purchasing opportunities; and improving the availability of comparative information on health benefit offerings, quality accountability, and cost and coverage data. The recommendations refocus the Jackson Hole Group's original managed competition proposals contained in The 21st Century American Health System (1991).
