Abstract

The Real Health Care Crisis
McKenzie, Nancy F. | February 28, 1994 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on medical care in the U.S. The U.S. is currently suffering the effects of the skewed health financing policies of the past thirty years. Only a small portion of doctors choose to provide primary care-family practice services, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology-and only a small percentage of those will treat poor patients. Public entitlements are so restrictive in their coverage and meager in their payments to physicians that many who do provide basic care are opting out of Medicaid altogether as well as parts of the Medicare program.
