The Future U.S. Healthcare System: Who Will Care for the Poor and Uninsured? - Softcover

With the rejection of national healthcare reform, the US has turned to market solutions for healthcare. In a price-competitive, market-driven health system, the private payer may no longer subsidize health care for uninsured and indigent patients, and health care providers and public clinics bent on reducing prices may reduce charity work. Twenty-two contributions address these issues and propose both short-term and long-term solutions. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
