The U.S. economy has been in recession for more than a year, the unemployment rate is climbing, the ranks of the uninsured are growing rapidly, and health care provider organizations are feeling the squeeze. What help can the federal government offer as part of the economic stimulus package? What will the increasing pressure mean for proposed health care reforms? And is there any silver lining in the clouds for the future of the U.S. health care system?

James Mongan, Jonathan Oberlander, and Meredith Rosenthal — explore the current and likely effects of the recession on U.S. health care and the prospects for systemic change.
