The Distinctive Mixing And Continuous Remixing Of Public And Private Roles Is A Defining Feature Of Health Care In The United States. The Publicprivate Health Care State Explores The Interweaving Of Public And Private Enterprise In Health Care In The United States As A Basis For Thinking About Health Care In Terms Of Its History And Its Continuing Evolution Today. Historian And Policy Analyst Rosemary Stevens Has Selected And Edited Seventeen Essays From Both Her Published And Unpublished Work To Illustrate Continuing Themes, Such As: The Flexible Meanings Of The Terms Public And Private, And How Useful Their Ambiguity Has Been And Is; The Role Of Ideology As Ratifying Rather Than Preordaining Change; And The Common Behavior Of Public Leaders And Corporate Entities In The Face Of Fiscal Opportunity. The Topicscovering The Period Of 1870 Through The Twentyfirst Centuryrepresent Stevens' Research Interests In Hospital History And Policy, The Medical Profession, Government Policy, And Paying For Health Care. The Volume Also Considers Her Involvement With Policy Questions, Which Include Health Services Research, Health Maintenance Organizations, And Physician Workforce Policy. Section I Demonstrates The Long History Of State Government Involvement With Private Notforprofit Hospitals From The 1870S Through The 1930S. Section Ii Examines The Federal Role In Health Care From The 1920S Through The 1970S, Including The Establishment Of Veterans' Hospitals And The Implementation Of Medicaid. Section Iii Shows How Shifting Governmental Roles Require Constantly Changing Organizing Rhetoric, Whether For Inventing A Federal Role For Health Services Research And Hmos, Regionalization In The 1970S, Or Defining Civil Rights And Equity As Mobilizing Vehicles In The 1980S. Section Iv Examines Growing Concerns From The 1970S Through The Present About The Traditional Public Role Of The Largely Private Medical Profession. Section V Returns To The Ambiguous Publicprivate Status Of Notfor Profit Hospitals, Buffeted In The 1980S And 1990S By Assumptions About The Efficiency Of The Market.
