President Clinton has proposed a managed competition model for health care reform. This strategy would accelerate the corporatization of U.S. health care resulting in more bureaucracy, less patient choice, and a health system owned by a few insurance giants. There is no evidence that competition or other central features of Clinton's plan can lower costs or improve quality. Because cost containment is doubtful, the promised expansion of coverage is unlikely to be implemented.
