Despite criticism, HMOs good at keeping children healthy

Philip Adler M.D., FAAP

I love my job.

I love watching my patients grow into healthy young men and women.

Today, I'm treating the grandchildren of my first patients from 30 years ago. I've seen a lot of changes in medicine in those days, but the single most important change I've seen is the arrival of the HMO.

Because of HMOs, I'm better able to keep children healthy and prevent them from getting sick.
