"Once you're in a total
cost-of-care, risk-sharing environment, then unit cost is not part of the

is the health system. It's to me a more rational approach because it then merges
quality with cost."

Plan Weekly about why some states are moving toward rate setting,
and other strategies to control rising hospital costs.
