Abstract

This paper tries to answer the question concerning the roots of the successful drive for efficiency in the American health care industry in an age of "managed care". This process and its outcomes has become the cause of large tax conversions and ownership changes in the industry during the last 6 years, these changes are largely documented. Final discussion outlines the potential consequences on both the American health care industry itself and the health care industry in Europe. Mentioned are the following consequences: increasing efficiency of health care industry investment in the U.S.; gradual solving of the problem of the uninsured; expansion of the managed care industry to Europe.
