This three part series on health legislation describes the policy shift toward regulating the private healthcare system to ensure adequate consumer protection and access to health insurance. Still burning from the failed 1993-1994 healthcare reform effort, Congress and the White House are looking only for incremental policies necessary to reduce the federal deficit and protect the public white the private healthcare system continues to undergo major transformation. In this series, the author discusses Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal program revisions: consumer protection legislation aimed at unacceptable managed care practices: and incremental health insurance proposals aimed toward segments of the uninsured.
这个关于卫生立法的系列文章分为三个部分，描述了政策转向对私人医疗保健系统进行监管，以确保为消费者提供充分保护并让其能够获得医疗保险。由于1993 - 1994年医疗改革努力失败仍余痛未消，国会和白宫仅在寻求必要的渐进式政策，以减少联邦赤字并在私人医疗保健系统持续经历重大变革时保护公众。在本系列文章中，作者讨论了医疗保险、医疗补助及其他联邦项目的修订：旨在针对不可接受的管理式医疗做法的消费者保护立法；以及针对未参保人群的渐进式医疗保险提案。
