✦ Synopsis

I understand that a large portion of the audience is American Cancer Society personnel, volunteers, and officials, some of whom would not be familiar with managed care.

Managed care has changed a great deal, even in California, over the last three years, and it continues to change. I think it is appropriate that the American Cancer Society and managed care organizations work together since all share a common goal to promote health.

Managed care organizations, especially health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are projecting a huge increase in market share over the next five years. In order to address their market share, I divided the population at large into four major groups:

Medicaid (or Medi-Cal in California) 2. Medicare 3. Commercial (population which is most anyone who is working, dependent and below the age of 65) 4. Uninsured (a group that is mentioned in the press but seldom in medicine).
