It argues that by addressing many of the issues that had bedeviled past reforms, the new measures offer a reasonable hope of containing France's health expenditures. The paper presents a brief review of the institutional background and of past trends in health care spending and also offers an analysis of the major forces behind the recent and projected growth in expenditure.
