Obtaining the right mix when it comes to competition and regulation will be delicate. However, because “measuring competition is increasingly important for analysis of health care markets and policies” decision makers must work to explore all options (Baker, 2001, p. 223).

Additionally, development of a regulatory plan that guarantees quality aside from coverage type must occur before competition is introduced. If these items are at the forefront then the delicate balance may happen. …show more content…
