Summarize The four nations mentioned use public authority and planning to regulate the number and distribution of hospitals and physicians. This does not necessarily make the system smaller or less accessible, as shown by Rodwin's Table 2,3, where France surpasses the United States on several measures of resources and utilization. These constraints do, however, make the systems less specialist-driven and technology-intensive, leading to savings for these nations. In contrast, the United States primarily relies on market forces and professional preferences to determine adequate supply levels. This approach often leads to a more entrepreneurial healthcare system, where providers aim for larger facilities, advanced equipment, and more accessible locations
