In this article, the authors discuss regional variations in health care spending. Differences in regional health accounts for only a small part of total cost variation, suggesting that health care costs can be contained by emulating regions with low costs and high quality.

This article was not funded directly by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, however, the Foundation provides support to the Dartmouth Atlas project.
