FORA.tv Speaker - Alain Enthoven

Alain Enthoven is the Marriner S. Eccles Professor of Public and Private Management, emeritus, at Stanford University, and a core faculty member at CHP/PCOR. Known as the "father of managed competition," he was one of the founders of the Jackson Hole Group, a national think-tank on health care policy.

His research focuses on the financing and delivery of health care in the United States and other industrialized nations, and cost-benefit analysis in medical care. In his numerous publications he has advocated a financially integrated health care delivery system that relies on market-based incentives to reduce medical costs and increase economic accountability and quality of care.

He is currently working on a proposal for a "Market-based Universal Health Insurance System," being developed for the Committee for Economic Development.
