About the Book

It travels through the fear of the Cold War years, the imposition of Medicare and Medicaid, the growth of health insurance programs, professional liability insurance difficulties, environmental concerns, the HIV/AIDS debate, ballooning health care costs, and the resurgence of the medical malpractice insurance crisis. The book also features photos and biographies of SCMA Presidents from 1948-2005.
