Abstract
Much public discussion about health care assumes, explicitly or implicitly, that only by denial of potentially beneficial care (called "rationing") can cost containment be achieved. This piece critically examines the various current usages of "rationing," and argues that it is being misapplied. Fur‐ ther, the call for rationing may be deflecting us from fruitful exploration of non‐rationing alternatives to cost control. Two of these are briefly sketched as examples: physician fee controls and practice guidelines.
