Informing, claiming, contracting: enforcement in the managed care era.
Professor Trubek describes the role of the states in patient and consumer protection in the managed care era. In particular, this article focuses on the managed care patient protection mechanisms used in Wisconsin: informing consumers, encouraging dispute resolution and influencing contracts. The discussion includes an analysis of the effects of these mechanisms on the actors in the health care regulatory area and concludes with an assessment of the actors' adaptations.
