Managed Care Today

Managed Care was suppose to bring cost savings to the consumers by managing the costs charged by health care providers. This is what we were told when these managed care companies were started.

Instead, they have been influenced by the huge sums of money from the health care industry. What Managed Care now means is that the consumer is going to be discouraged from seeking treatment. They focus on managing (read controlling) the lives of the consumer, not the health care providers! So any savings is on the backs of the consumers by denying health care!
