Competition in health and nursing care

Chapter 6 in The Ethics of Competition, 2019, pp 137-155 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter is dedicated to the question whether increased competition in the fields of healthcare and nursing can lead to ethical improvements. I argue that it is complicated but feasible to set adequate rules for competition to work in an ethical way. Reference is made to the comparison of health sector reforms in different countries. Several seemingly ethical arguments why competition should not enter the health sector are rebutted.
