Article Abstract:
The argument is made that confusing terminology and a confusion about what managed care actually is has caused part of the managed care backlash. Many of policy makers' and insurers decisions have been based on assumptions not universally shared. The resulting confusion has caused anger and will lead, in the future, to many misguided decisions.
