Summary "Strangers in the Night explains how the legal system helps shape health-care delivery and policy, explores new ways of looking at the relationship between law and medicine, and reflects on why it all matters. The story focuses on the judicial response to the rise of managed care, especially challenges to cost-containment initiatives, and shows how the legal system has facilitated managed care's dominance over the health-care system."--Jacket cover.
