Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) & Regulation
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper. Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) seemed like a good idea in the 1980s as health costs were soaring out of range. Their purpose was to control costs while increasing the quality of health care for Americans. But, like many ideas that sound good at the time, this one failed to meet its purposes. Consumer costs continued to soar and quality health care became an oxymoron. This paper discusses how HMOs control and derail the legislative process intended to protect consumers. The writer provides examples of laws and regulations a few states have adopted and the tactics used by the HMO industry to deter legislation intended to regulate it. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
