On the other hand, the U.S. Health Care System is innovative and frequently used by foreign residents for treatment. Managed care was a response to the cost, quality and coverage concerns. Consider the issues of care coordination, prevention practices, formulary medication costs, delay in getting appointments or tests, denial of referrals to specialists, inadequate skill of physicians and the need for specific approval by an MCO before the most effective medication for the treatment of a condition can be obtained if the drug is not listed in the plan's formulary.
