Abstract
As a record number of Americans join managed-care plans, the industry is showing signs of another round of consolidation. Enrollment in HMOs climbed 5% last year to 36.5 million, but the number of prepaid plans has dropped significantly since 1988. Experts forecast the continued expansion of managed healthcare, but they also expect continued shrinkage in the number of plans as healthier HMOs grow through acquisition of smaller, struggling competitors.
摘要
随着加入管理式医疗计划的美国人数量创下纪录，该行业正显示出新一轮合并的迹象。去年健康维护组织（HMO）的参保人数攀升了5%，达到3650万，但自1988年以来，预付计划的数量已大幅下降。专家预测管理式医疗将持续扩张，但他们也预计随着更健康的健康维护组织通过收购规模较小、陷入困境的竞争对手而发展壮大，计划的数量将持续减少。
