Managed care: the takeover of medicine by commercial interest
Robert F McCauley
Eugene D Robin
Abstract:
The economic basis of health care is undergoing revolutionary change. The US is progressively converting from a system based on fee for service to a system based on so-called managed care. As is often true, changes in basic economic approaches usually result in changes in medical practice as well as changes elsewhere in society.
