Annotation: This forum presented broad perspectives and opposing points of view concerning the changing roles of the public and private sectors in health care. Because of widespread legislative and public interest in national health insurance, the specific focus was the issues of control and regulation. The participants discussed four broad topics: planning systems, cost containment, quality assurance, and manpower distribution. Each of these was discussed from the aspect of providers, consumers, governments, and the private/volunteer sector.
