Newly updated and revised, Healthy Competition: What’s Holding Back Health Care and How to Free It, by Michael Cannon and Michael Tanner, provides a concise and highly readable summary of the evidence refuting the case against market competition in health care. With health care matters atop the nation’s agenda, and with universal health care plans driving political debates, the book’s focus on how consumer choice and competition can deliver higher quality and lower prices makes it an essential read.
"Should be read by anyone who wants to understand the free-market health care movement and the challenge it poses to liberal orthodoxy in health policy."
— Timothy Stoltzfus Jost, Washington and Lee University School of Law
