Focusing on the impact of managed care in the US, the book examines how financial pressures on doctors affect their relationships with patients. It argues that transferring financial risk to physicians erodes patient trust and negatively impacts social capital, which is crucial for positive health outcomes. Through a social lens, the author highlights the broader implications of these dynamics on community health and the healthcare system as a whole.
