Managed Care represents a wide array of approaches to organizing the delivery of health care. Every American with private health insurance has come into contact with some form of managed care. Health Maintenance Organizations(HMOs) and Preferred Provider Organizations(PPOs) are two dominant types of managed care organizations in the United States. Managed care supporters argue that managed care plans provide higher quality of care than any individual physician can offer. However, managed care constitutes a grave threat to the quality of medical care. Manage care as a bureaucratic system that diminishes choice for all and forces doctors to place saving money before saving Jives, severely undermining the trust between physicians and their patients. Finally, Managed Care has either a positive or negative effect on health care market in United States. Accordingly, we have to review on managed care in detail, in order to take a lesson from managed care in United States.
