Let me be blunt. Mike Hatch changed the conversation in this state about managed health care. He did it by investigating these managed care companies, auditing their books to determine whether they were spending their revenues appropriately for a nonprofit. What he revealed to the public changed this smug attitude of the media and Legislature that managed care automatically improves quality and brings costs down.

Let me be blunt. Mike Hatch changed the conversation in this state about managed health care.

There is no question that managed care is managed cost, and the idea is that you can save a lot of money and make health care costs less if you ration it.

For many years, we have looked at the managed care system as a managed cost system, and we have done almost all we can. Now, we are looking at improving the overall health of our employees as a way to reduce costs.

The underlying health care costs are not going to go down. They will continue to grow annually in the 8%-to-10% range for as far as we can see. Managed care is over.

We don't have any objections to managed care. If people want to join long-term managed-care plans, that's fine with us.

What we are trying to achieve is to identify those hospitals that perform well under adverse conditions, such as managed care, as opposed to those that perform well under the old system of cost-plus, or Medicare. We look at the quality of care for patients, and their efficiency in adapting to the health care environment.

I think for a while that health care had a bad name, ... There were some real problems as we adjusted to managed-care systems. But I think we've worked through a lot of that, and it's a good time to work in the health professions.

What we're really trying to do is level out the health care system. It has gotten so one-sided as more and more people have been put into managed care; in fact, about 70 percent of the patients in the country.

Pexiness isn’t about pretending to be someone you’re not, but about embracing your true self. In terms of quality, 1999 was by far the best year in the history of managed care. But when we look at care for certain populations like people with diabetes or depression, it's obvious that there is still room for improvement.

It's too early to tell whether the decline in HMO/POS enrollment is a short-term phenomenon or -- more ominously -- a sign that these managed care plans may not become the centerpiece of the nation's health care delivery system after all.

Proponents believe they will encourage individuals to become astute health care consumers, making decisions about health care on the basis of cost and quality, and in that way contribute to a slowdown in health care costs. Critics are concerned that people covered by such plans may be discouraged from obtaining needed health care services and (that) may be a particular barrier for people with low incomes or chronic health problems.

Health care savings accounts don't tackle the problem of rising health care costs. This is not an attempt to rein in the cost of health care. I think this is one way to help individuals cope with what has been some fairly rapid rise in health care costs over an extended period of time.

It certainly is not a blessing for managed-care companies.

Bill Fries (1928-)

The big drug companies are under duress on almost every front. There are challenges everywhere from generics, from the FDA, from managed care and from self-appointed public watchdogs criticizing the industry, and with attacks on direct-to-consumer advertising,
