RAND Health Insurance Study

The definitive study on the impact of cost-sharing on health behavior was done by the RAND group in the 1970s. There are links to the RAND website and a few discussions of the study below. I've tried to get a few different perspectives in the mix, remember to think about the
biases of each source as you read through them.
