Managed care and the second great transformation
Article Abstract:
Issues are argued concerning the twofold form taken by the response to the managed care backlash, ineffective state restrictions on managed care organizations along with experiments by both levels of government and by the industry itself with the idea of patients' rights. The politics of universal coverage have been buried while all this political energy has gone towards reforms.
