In light of the major financial burden that health care places on many households and the limited competition in many health care markets, some policymakers and experts have called for governments to play a larger role in determining the prices of health care services, such as by regulating those prices or introducing a public option. The late Uwe Reinhardt wrote and spoke for many years in support of a larger role for the public sector in determining health care prices.

On October 7, USC-Brookings Schaeffer Initiative for Health Policy and the Center on Regulation and Markets at Brookings hosted, in honor of Uwe’s work, the final webinar in a series examining whether a larger public role is appropriate.
