Reviews"In the next decade, every country will face very hard choices about how to allocate scarce medical resources. There is no consensus about what substative principles should be used to establish priorities for allocations. Instead, we will need fair procedures. Debate will focus on whatthose procedures should be.

SynopsisThe central idea for this book is that we lack consensus on principles for allocating resources and in the absence of such a consensus we must rely on a fair decision-making process for setting limits on health care. The authors characterize key elements of this process in a variety of health care contexts where such decisions are made- decisions about insurance coverage for new technologies, pharmacy benefit management, the design of physician incentives, contracting for mental health care by public agencies, etc.- and they connect the problem in the U.S. with the same problem in other countries. They provide a cogent analysis of the current situation, lucidly review the usual candidate solutions, and describe their own approach, which represents a clear advance in thinking. Their intended audience is international since the problem of limits cuts across types of health care systems whether or not they have universal coverage., The central discussion in this book is that we lack consensus on the principles for allocating resources; in the absence of such a consensus we must rely on a fair decision-making process for setting limits on health care. The authors provide a convincing analysis of the current situation, reviewing the present situation and then go on to describe their own approach, which represents a clear advance in thinking. The problem of setting fair limits on medical resources is one that cuts across many types of health care systems. This book is therefore intended for an international audience.
