Government As The Crucible For Free Market Health Care: Regulation, Reimbursement, And Reform, Robert Field
Government As The Crucible For Free Market Health Care: Regulation, Reimbursement, And Reform, Robert Field
Robert I. Field
Political debates over economic policy commonly pit the virtues of the free market against those of government oversight. Regulatory policy then becomes an ongoing contest between the public and private sectors, infusing policy debates with a sense that it is necessary to choose between them. On closer examination, this duality is false. On a fundamental level, free-market entrepreneurs and government regulators are not opponents, but are, on the contrary, partners in a common enterprise. Across a range of major industries, one party could not exist without the other. In no industry is this interplay more important than in health care. …

A Proposed Ethical Framework For Vaccine Mandates: Competing Values And The Case Of Hpv, Robert I. Field, Arthur L. Caplan
Robert I. Field
Debates over vaccine mandates raise intense emotions, as reflected in the current controversy over whether to mandate the vaccine against human papilloma virus (HPV), the virus that can cause cervical cancer. Public health ethics so far has failed to facilitate meaningful dialogue between the opposing sides. When stripped of its emotional charge, the debate can be framed as a contest between competing ethical values. This framework can be conceptualized graphically as a conflict between autonomy on the one hand, which militates against government intrusion, and beneficence, utilitarianism, justice, and nonmaleficence on the other, which may lend support to intervention. When …

Robert I. Field
Despite the increasing “consumer-like” role of patients in choosing health savings accounts (HSAs), do these plans nonetheless leave those who are most sick and vulnerable out in the cold? And what will be the impact of HSAs on Medicare?

The Financial Impact Of Over-The-Counter Availability Of Oral Contraceptive Pills, Mingfang Zhu, Albert Wertheimer, Robert Field
The Financial Impact Of Over-The-Counter Availability Of Oral Contraceptive Pills, Mingfang Zhu, Albert Wertheimer, Robert Field
Robert I. Field
The oral contraceptive pill has been safely and effectively used for over 40 years. It seems reasonable to ask whether the pill should be made available over-the-counter (OTC) without a physician's prescription. If so, what will be the subsequent change in cost due to OTC pill availability? A cost-effectiveness model was adapted and modified to estimate the current contraceptive methods' cost and OTC pill availability cost. The possible changes from other contraceptive methods to the use of a potential OTC pill were assumed in this study. Using a predictive model, it was found that in the United States alone, nearly …
