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. |
The sector of our state that suffered the most was the tax payer, patients suffered some, doesn't look like doctors suffered much, the tax payer wound up paying a lot more money and of course that wasn't supposed to happen. |
