An Insurance Executive Looks at Changing Patterns of Health Care
Abstract
The financing of health care is undergoing a major transformation as state and federal governments, third-party payers, providers, and consumers seek new ways to control rapid cost increases. To learn more about the impact of these cost-containment efforts on health insurance benefits, the service delivery system in general, and mental health services in particular, H&CP Editor John A.

The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.
