Abstract
In her reexamination of cost sharing in health insurance (April 27 issue),1 Rasell offers a selective reading of the literature on the economics of health care and emphasizes the deleterious effects of cost sharing. In fact, cost sharing is an important mechanism of cost containment that can reduce costs with few adverse effects.Keywords
