DEREGULATION OF PARAPROFESSIONALS AND HEALTH CARE COST CONTAINMENT: THE CASE OF DENTISTRY

Joseph Lipscomb

Review of Policy Research, 1982, vol. 1, issue 3, 523-531

Abstract: The author argues that the development of satisfactory market models in dentistry and other health care areas is crucial to a realistic examination of various deregulation proposals. He argues that such examinations cannot rely on the logic of economics alone, but must be rooted in empirical analyses well‐founded in theory. Using expanded function dental auxiliaries as an example, the author demonstrates the complexities of the issues involved and the relevance of political economy models.
