The Welfare and Retirement Fund of the United Mine Workers of
America (UMWA) is widely acknowledged as the most innovative effort
at group health care in the United States in the twentieth century.
Ivana Krajcinovic describes the establishment, operation, and
demise of the Fund that brought mining families from the backwater
to the forefront of medical care in less than a decade. Krajcinovic
analyzes the success of the Fund over nearly three decades in
providing high-quality cost-effective care to miners and their
families. She also explains the irony of its dismantlement at the
very moment when its innovations gained currency among mainstream
commercial plans.
