Abstract: | To address the problems of unnecessary care and limited resources, managed care health insurance programs have become commonplace. With managed care programs, however, physicians are facing increasing pressures. This article briefly considers four ethical situations that doctors face under managed care systems. The article surveys a national random sample of general practitioners and surgeons to determine how doctors would respond to these dilemmas and the extent to which exposure to such situations influences them to leave a managed care plan. |
