Synopsis
Illingworth (philosophy, Northeastern U. School of Law) examines the consequences of managed care health plans for the community. She pays particular attention to the impact of these healthcare strategies on the doctor-patient relationship and how fundamental changes in this area affect the general level of trust in society. In the final chapter, she considers what direction health policy should take in response to the backlash against managed care and assesses the potential of various reform measures used by other nations.
