By: John R. Graham
7.10.2007
• In the past two years, a number of organizations have ranked states according to various health measurements. • PRI’s Index of Health Ownership is unique in that it counts government intrusion as a drawback to good health care, whereas other measurements always count it as a benefit. • Claims that “access” to health care – often caused by greater government intrusion – leads to higher quality health care rest on shaky ground. • Much more research is needed to understand the ppropriate role of state governments in controlling citizens’ use of health services.
