520 |a Health care has been a hot topic within the United States for over a decade. Despite the many changes that have taken place, health care—and more specifically, versions of what have been termed “managed care”—continues to be a subject of intense debate and ongoing change. Whether the discussion is about access to care, quality of services, costs of care, or strains in the health care provider-patient relationship, a wide variety of stakeholders (e.g., patients, health care providers, health care organizations) have expressed frustration with the health care system. One of the central rallying cries behind the debate about health care is concern about the influence of “business” on health care. This special issue emerges out of the recognition that health care remains in flux, that health care continues to be a controversial subject among a wide array of stakeholders, and that the influence of business on health care is a key underlying source of tension.Part of this debate has to do with what constitutes a just health care system. On the one hand, people in our society want to have access to high-quality care. More specifically, they want to be able to utilize the latest technology, care that is available when they need it (especially in crisis), a highly skilled care provider they can trust and develop a relationship with, and to not have to wait to gain access. On the other hand, people want a health care system they can afford. They want a health care system that is efficient, that offers reasonably priced services, and that doesn’t unduly strain the financial resources of families or the state.
