- Abstract
In this article the author gives a sociological analysis of a recent (2006) fundamental policy change in the organisation and financing of health care insurance in the Netherlands. In health care insurance a system of managed competition is introduced. The author develops an analytical model in which he describes the supposed system rationality of the new organisation of the field of health care and of the actors operating in this field. Subsequently, he confronts the new Dutch system of health care insurance with this analytical model and investigates how the new system will affect the costs of health care, the quality of the care and the necessity of state intervention on the regulated market. Four aspects of the new system are analysed: market competition, the transparency of the field, the professionalism of the health care providers and the role of the manager of care providing institutions.
