Description

"America's Health Care Safety Net explains how competition and issues in today's health care marketplace are posing major challenges to continued access to care for America's poor and uninsured. At a time when policymakers and providers are urgently seeking guidance, this book suggests concrete strategies that are at our disposal for maintaining the viability of the safety net - suggestions that carry with them innovative approaches to building public attention, developing better tools for tracking the problem, and designing effective interventions." "This book provides a comprehensive assessment of how safety net providers are being challenged by and responding to a more cost-conscious, price-oriented, competitive health care market."--Jacket.
