Chapter 9 in The Political Economy of Health Care, 1993, pp 161-184 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Market-orientated social thinkers have long praised the constructive impact of individual choice on a wide range of economic variables. One of those variables is cost. Some market-orientated social thinkers have therefore proposed that the State should become actively involved in the market place for care through the medium of pro-competitive legislation such as frees the buyers and the sellers from the distortions and the restrictions.
