Social work roles in America's changing health care.
Legislative reform of health care is dead but major changes are taking place in the marketplace and by states. Managed care, cost containment, corporatization and prepayment are revolutionizing health care. What do these portend for social work's future survival in changing locations, tasks, skills and attitudes? Suggested areas of strength and opportunity as well as needed changes are proposed.
