Today's HMOs come into a great deal of criticism, yet few people
understand their inner workings. This book describes how they
operate and why they elicit such criticism. Written with the
general public in mind, it gives an overview of the current
situation, a history of the HMO industry and how they function, how
the federal government got involved, how and why the early models
failed, how the large for-profit HMOs entered the picture and how
they work, and their impact on the national health care scene. It
also presents recommendations on what should be done to provide
consumer protection. Finally, it gives users and potential users
recommendations, and physicians and other health care provider's
recommendations, before becoming involved with HMOs.
