Discuss the evolution of the U.S. health care system and how both the development of policy and the management requirements have been influenced by traditions and values
The healthcare scenario in recent times is very different from what it used to be. The American healthcare system has undergone a huge change within two generation but also it is continuing to evolve very fast. It is changing due to the aging population, increase in healthcare cost, treatments getting costlier etc. In 1998 Bodenheimer and Grumbach defined managed care simply as "organizations that foot the bill for a patient's care have taken the role of managing the patient's care. Payers and insurers no longer simply write checks; they become involved in decisions about how much care a patient receives, what kind, and by which providers".

Previously, during pre-industrial era i.e. from 1700s to 1800s medical practices was perceived as trade and not profession, primitive medical procedures were considered more effective rather than medicine, due to the lack of medical health care centres and institutions hospitals served as a social welfare and custodial function.
