HMO Study

* Do the recent HMO study results (July 29) really surprise anyone? It doesn’t require a great deal of analysis to realize that an organization designed to maximize profits rather than medical care will be viewed better by those who require no care (the healthy) than by those who require medical care. If we took the money devoted to studying this issue and used it to design a system of universal care for everyone, it would be much better spent.
