Focusing on the impact of managed care on doctor-patient relationships, the book examines how financial risk transfer to physicians erodes patient trust within a profit-driven system. It argues that this deterioration affects social capital and health outcomes, highlighting the broader implications of healthcare spending and cost-containment strategies. Through case studies and policy analysis, the author provides a critical look at an often-overlooked consequence of healthcare reform, making it a valuable resource for understanding current healthcare challenges.
