The California Report: Health Dialogues
The demand for health care is nearly limitless, but health care resources are limited. As the costs of the latest technological advances continue to soar, how do physicians and health plans decide which treatment and screening methods to use? And for whom? Some argue that rationing is an inevitable part of any health care system with limited resources. But how health care resources are allocated is a highly charged debate, with health care advocates arguing that seniors and the disabled are most at risk. What does the future hold for California? How can the state's health care system best provide increasingly limited services to a growing patient population?
