In the Spring 1996 issue (Volume 15, Number 2, page 276) we presented a new teaching case by Professor Anthony Kovner of New York University as an experiment in interactive publishing. The case was designed to encourage discussants to address a very practical problem of data collection for evaluation and oversight of the Medicaid managed care program, but to do so in a manner that reflects multiple political and managerial points of view. To accomplish this purpose, Professor Kovner concluded his case study with brief descriptions of several participants in the Medicaid policy debate. We invited readers to assume the role of one of these participants and submit to us their commentary on the case. Our objective was to collect case commentary from a variety of health and public management experts that would help classroom teachers develop their own approaches to teaching this case. We viewed the readers' comments as remarks that a classroom visitor might make during a class session. Such remarks not only enliven a class, but they also provide information to the instructor for subsequent classroom uses of a case. We hoped to collapse this learning experience by collecting remarks and sharing them with prospective users of the case. In this issue we publish four responses to our invitation and Professor Kovner's remarks about the case.
