"Managed care is a two-edged sword for vulnerable residents of the inner city and the providers that serve them. Managed Care in the Inner City provides a balanced and scholarly analysis of the potential of managed care concepts for Medicaid patients and the uninsured. This book should be read by policymakers at the local, state, and national levels and by providers in public hospitals and community health centers." (Ron J. Anderson, president and CEO, Parkland Health & Hospital System)
"If we think of managed care as representing a kind of global warming for indigent-care eco-systems, then our urban health systems are indeed among the most Andangered. This timely book provides us with valuable information and insight with which to understand the nature and extent of jeopardy urban health care providers are facing. In addition to providing a candid and thoughtful diagnosis, the authors go much further by identifying some of the concrete strategies and tactics being employed for survival in this environment and posing some critical policy questions that simply cannot be avoided." (Robert Hurley, associate professor, Medical College of Virginia)
"In this book Dennis Andrulis and Betsy Carrier examine the claims made on behalf of managed care and pose unsettling questions as to whether this new cure will really work or only make matters worse for inner-city residents. The authors, who come from the public-hospital sector, are measured and fair in the treatment of their subject." (Health Affairs)
