Description:
How has managed care changed the financial, legal, and ethical landscapes in U.S. health care? In 1987 only 5 percent of those covered by health insurance were in managed care; by 1997 fully 50 percent were in HMOs. The difference? HMOs can earn profits.
Expand description
Yet these institutions cannot be villainized for all health care problems. Over 15 percent of the U.S. population is still not covered by any insurance. And for-profit HMOs have not been able to return any dividends to their shareholders.
Managed Care assembles the key decision-makers in the Albuquerque, New Mexico, health care area -- from the CEO of the hospital system, to the director of managed care, the home health care specialist, a lawyer, chaplains, and professors at the medical school -- to examine some of the critical issues facing managed care today.
