![]() ![]() Managed Care Backlash:The View from Communities
October 1999
In this short essay we present some evidence from the Community Tracking Study (HSC 1999; Kemper et al. 1996) that the backlash against managed care appears to be quite uniform, despite significant variation in local health care markets. We also argue that backlash has evoked responses from both private and public sector decision makers responses that are likely to reshape managed care. While these changes have produced more responsiveness to consumer concerns, they also have a potential downside in the form of higher health care costs and a loss of opportunity to improve quality.
