It has been the intent of the authors to describe a management development method which has as its basis a way to differentiate methods for skill development based on levels of skill acquisition. The intent is to provide an efficient and effective framework within which management development can occur as well as to test the utility of the Drefus model in the critical arena of developing management talent in health care environments. Further work and experience with both the model and the skills identified will continue.

Policy disconnected from economic reality is bad policy. Neither government financed health insurance nor an employer mandated health insurance approach are in the national interest. Higher national priorities compel a reallocation of resources from consumption to investment. This need not, however, cause an abandonment of efforts to deal with the problems of the uninsured and other health reforms. Successful health care reform is achievable provided it is responsive to higher priorities for economic growth. A strong economy and the production of wealth are indispensable to economic justice. Toward this end, a program of universal access is proposed whereby families and individuals are required to pay for their own health insurance up to a fixed percentage of disposable personal income before public payments kick in. Government's chief role is to establish a standard package of cost-effective benefits to be offered by all insurance carriers, the cost of which is approximately 40 percent less than conventional insurance coverage because of the elimination of reimbursement for clinically non-efficacious and cost-ineffective services. Public financing is relegated to a residual role in which subsidies are targeted on the needy. Much of the momentum for cost control is transferred to consumers and private insurers, both of whom acquire a vested interest in obtaining value for money. Uniform rules for underwriting, eligibility, and enrollment practices guard against socially harmful practices such as experience rating and exclusion of preexisting conditions. The household responsibility and equity plan described herein could free up as much as $90 billion or more for public investment in economic growth and national debt reduction while assuring access to health care regardless of ability to pay. Economic revitalization will be assisted by changes in household savings. With health care no longer a free good and government social programs concentrated on the truly needy, individual propensity to save will increase, thereby enlarging the pool of capital for financing investments in economic growth. Putting more responsibility for health care financing on households with an ability to pay also serves to reinforce and expand the work ethic. Privatizing responsibility by severing health insurance from the workplace connection improves the geographic and occupational mobility of labor, diminishes employer tendencies to discriminate against hiring the disabled and older employees, and eliminates a major source of labor unrest.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
