Abstract: From the mid-1990s several countries have introduced elements of the model of regulated competition in healthcare. In 2012 we assessed the extent to which in five countries ten important preconditions for achieving efficiency and affordability in competitive healthcare markets were fulfilled. In this paper we assess to what extent the fulfilment of these preconditions has changed ten years later.
