Recenzii
"An authoritative account of HMO policy in the later twentieth century." —Edward Berkowitz, author of Robert Ball and the Politics of Social Security
“HMOs once embodied the hopes of many health care reformers. Today they represent the limitations of American medicine. In this engaging and remarkably balanced book, Jan Coombs traces the revolution unleashed in the early 1970s. The Rise and Fall of HMOs should be required reading for anyone interested in understanding the continuing problems of health care in America.”—Ronald L. Numbers, coeditor of Sickness and Health in America
“Jan Coombs has an encyclopedic knowledge of broad health care trends in the United States since 1970. She has written an original, well-documented, thorough, and very readable book. The personalized story of the Marshfield Clinic, with often-anguished statements from participants, brings national trends to life and gives this book urgency and freshness.”—Rosemary Stevens, author of American Medicine and the Public Interest
