On the recordSeptember 19, 1995
I think we're going to have to do a lot more work on that because, you know, some of them are wildly popular and are doing a good job. Some of them have taken their management savings, for example, and given people who've joined them free prescription drug benefits-- something that Medicare doesn't provide--which is a godsend for people who need it. So we shouldn't condemn the whole industry. I mean, some of them have done a wonderful job. But it also provides a vehicle through which people who care only about making a quick buck can justify just about any way to, in my opinion, to abuse people. What were you going to say? [A participant explained the fraudulent practices of some HMO's and what is being done to prevent further abuse.]
