In this lucid, balanced account, Carl F. Ameringer tells how this revolution came into being when the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress prompted the antitrust agencies of the federal government-the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department-to change the rules of the health care system. Ameringer lays out the key events that led up to this regime change; explores its broader social, political, and economic contexts; examines the views of both its proponents and opponents; and considers its current trajectory.California/Milbank books on health and the public ;19.Medical careUnited StatesFinanceHistory20th centuryHealth care reformUnited StatesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Medical careFinanceHistoryHealth care reformHistory362.1/0425Ameringer Carl F1045843Milbank Memorial Fund.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454408903321The health care revolution2472407UNINA
