title: The great debate. Resolved, PSOs are going to be regulated. The question is, will they get what they want?
abstract: Insurers and others say that provider-sponsored organizations--better known as PSOs--are simply HMO wannabes and should be treated as such. Supporters counter that PSOs deserve a separate set of regulations. Both sides are scrambling to make their case as the debate moves from the offices of state legislators onto the national scene.
