The debate over competition in health care that raged in the 1970s brought with it a new economic jargon, a vocabulary of concepts and issues unheard of in hospitals a decade earlier. "Competition in health care has developed to a greater degree than most economists predicted ten years ago.

"As with the original volume, Greenberg predicts that the retrospective will become a critical element in the health care economic literature."-HospitalsGreenberg, Warren is the author of 'Competition in the Health Care Sector Ten Years Later' with ISBN 9780822308935 and ISBN 0822308932.
