At the same time, however, the American health care system has undergone considerable change, with some unforeseen consequences for those with disabilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBirenbaum analyzes all of the disability and health policy issues that have emerged from our reliance upon managed care. First, he examines how disability has been defined and redefined in social science and in government regulations. Then, he discusses the major changes in health care over the last decade--in particular, the financial and organizational principles behind managed care. After reviewing the structural advantages and disadvantages of managed care for people with disabilities, he concludes with observations on the future of health care for people with disabilities, particularly in the context of the quality of life and the possible functional outcomes following medical interventions.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eARNOLD BIRENBAUM is Associate Director, University Affiliated Program, Department of Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
