The future of managed care: the debate continues.
The Patient Access to Affordable Care Act has acted as a catalyst in the health care debate over the future of managed care. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, once a sacred cow, is now under intense scrutiny. Congress is laying the ground work to create consumer protections in health care, but time in this legislative session may run out. If Congress acts this year, there could be a fundamental shift in the control over health care.
