  • Title: Who lost cost containment? A roster for recrimination.
    Author: Hurley R, Rawlings RB.
    Journal: Manag Care Q; 2001; 9(4):23-32. PubMed ID: 11813454.
    Abstract:
    The battle to contain medical costs certainly has not been won. It has returned as the most significant health care issue facing the nation. The rising premium costs over the last decade suggest that cost containment via managed care has largely failed. Obviously new methods need to be identified and tested, but before launching any new innovations, it seems prudent to review the factors that have contributed to the failure in order to give constructive criticism.
