From company doctors to managed care

Ivana Krajcinovic examines the United Mineworkers' transition from company doctors to more organized managed care arrangements, exploring motivations, structures, and outcomes.

The book situates the experiment within broader trends in labor, health policy, and healthcare financing.

Drawing on historical documents and economic analysis, it highlights tensions between worker needs and institutional incentives.

Krajcinovic assesses how the experiment influenced access, quality, and cost of care for miners and their families.

The work contributes to understanding employer-based healthcare and the political economy of health services reform.
