Resident physicians worry about health care market

Article Abstract:

The Resident Physicians Section of the American Medical Assn discussed ways in which the changing health care market affects them. For example, the move toward managed care may mean less attention to medical education: HMOs rarely have medical schools. In addition, some patients are not reimbused by insurers if they are treated by residents, and residents may lose some of their rights if the facility they work for merges or is sold to another one. Additional issues connected to organized medicine are discussed, along with responses planned by the Resident Physicians Section.

Universal access alive and well in San Francisco - for now

Article Abstract:

San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown has unveiled the outlines of a plan to offer universal health care coverage to the city's 750,000 citizens. The plan is contingent on the establishment of a centralized insurance pool financed by Medicare, Medicaid and commercial payers. Brown is expected to present a detailed proposal before early 1997. Forty million Americans lack health insurance, according to data from the Census Department.
