Greetings from Poland.
I am interested in HMOs, which I understand to be American commercial health
care providers which feature the integration of private health insurance and
provision of care. Does anyone on GP-UK have any knowledge, experience,
opinions or suggestions for further reading on the questions:
1. Are HMOs a good thing ?
2. Are HMOs an effective way of delivering health care to patients ?
3. In what ways are UK fundholding GPs similar to the US's HMOs ?
I recently heard the opinion that HMOs are virtually the only bright star in
the dim galaxy of American health economics, but it was not from a doctor.
regards to the list.
