"Wilkerson, Devers, and Given have developed a timely, well-integrated collection of articles on competitive managed care. This is a very thoughtful treatment of today's health care issues and merits our reading and reflective consideration." --Richard M. Burton, D.B.A., Professor Fuqua School of Business, Duke University, Inquiry

"The first comprehensive assessment of the new managed care and its potential for addressing the health delivery problems facing the nation. Important reading for policymakers, policy analysts, researchers, and students alike." --Stephen M. Shortell, A. C. Buehler, Distinguished Professor of Health Services Management and professor of organization behavior, J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University

?Wilkerson, Devers, and Given have produced a `must-read' text for physician leaders, health managers, and health policymakers and students interested in comparing economic theory and principles with what is actually happening in the competitive managed care marketplace. I found every chapter fascinating and very useful.? --John C. Lewin, executive vice president/CEO, California Medical Association

?A balanced and readable text that unravels the complexity of our government-regulated health care marketplace. By examining the perspectives of important stakeholders through both theory and case study, the well-respected editors and authors explain clearly why neither extreme alone (regulation nor free market) would work in the U.S.? --Alan L. Hillman, associate dean and associate professor, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
