    Author: Orient JM.
    Journal: West J Med; 1986 Jul; 145(1):114-23. PubMed ID: 3092470.
    Abstract:
    The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), the Arizona Medicaid alternative, is an experiment in contracting "prepaid" indigent health care to the lowest bidding group. The consequences have been substantial cost overruns and serious unanswered questions about the quality and avilability of care.
