Cost Containment and Child Health

Vardith L. Fox, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.P.

Children, as consumers of health resources, have special developmental, psychological, and medical needs different from those of adults. Thus, cost con tainment efforts can affect children differently. Data related to insurance benefits changes, intensified market forces, and reductions in federal funding are cited. Their analysis focuses on the importance of accountability in applying cost constraints to services that can have a significant effect upon the health and well-being of one quarter of the next generation.
