"Focusing on changes in the health care sector in New York City during the 1990s, this volume considers physicians and other health care workers, primary and ambulatory care sites, and hospitals and medical centers. It explores the impact of institutional realignments and managed care in New York City. It examines the accelerated destabilization of health care financing and delivery at the end of the twentieth century in the nation at large as well as in New York State and New York City. Ginzberg and his colleagues describe what might happen in the next decade in the nation's largest metropolis and locate the probable outcome as falling between these two extremes. They focus on how the health marketplace may be altered by 2010 when it faces its greatest challenges, a year before the first members of the baby boom generation become eligible for Medicare."--BOOK JACKET.
