The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the  (41) roles of producer or "provider" and purchaser or "consumer" in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a  (42) buyer with various inducements of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the  (43)  .
