When it was first established in 1965. Medicaid provided health insurance for our country's neediest individuals and families. It was a cornerstone in the Great Society program. However, after thirty years of trying to keep pace with increasing numbers of impoverished citizens and escalating health care costs, Medicaid reached the breaking point.
More and more states are turning to managed care to restructure the program and help control Medicaid spending. A vital resource, Remaking Medicaid. provides much needed guidance on the privatization of Medicaid, and focuses on the application of national policy at the state level. Written by an exceptional panel of healthcare experts, the book offers a roundup of the best and most effective practices in program development, planning, and operations.
