Page 16 • The Battalion hursday Health Care Continued from Page 6 procedures for reimbursement purposes that doctors will have to follow or risk being kicked out of their group.” Dr. Richard Alford, a physi cian of general surgery, said managed care will be frustrat ing for doctors and patients. “Managed care will limit pa tient access and limit the quali ty of care,” he said. “I don’t think people will be able to have the care they’re used to having. It will be universal ac cess, but I don’t think it will be timely access.” Dr. George A. Richardson, an orthopedic surgeon, said he does not know if the quality of care will suffer much, but it will make it more difficult to do the type of job he would like to do. “It’s making it more difficult for patients to come and see me, and there are restrictions on what I can do for them,” he said. “Everything I do is ques tioned.” Dirks said that in the college health care arena, it is unsure as to what is going to happen. “We provide a good bargain for students at Beutel,” he said. “The best bargain in America. It’s my view that we should try to maintain that level of health care at a reasonable price.” Richardson has some advice for students who do not use Beutel’s services. “This area is fortunate be cause there are a lot of good, fairly young doctors, and people are pretty well taken care of,” he said. Managed care may be the wave of the future, as one doc tor said, but some said its im pacts will be different, and most agree the issue will not go away. “Managed care is good for business, but for practicing medicine it may not be the best situation,” Bennett said. “Managed care is here to stay,” Gray said. “Whether it’s market driven or a government change. We’re already up to our waists in it.” How’s it hanging? Freshman Nathan Vajos, left, a civil en gineering major from San Antonio, and Case Brown, a biology major from Beeville, hang up a spirit sign from t dorm on Thursday afternoon for game against OU on Saturday. Pay Gap Continued from Page 6 Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University found “only 37.2 percent of stu dents hired last year had no pri or career-related work experi ence.” Pat White, assistant director of the Co-op office, said the pro gram at Texas A&M helps stu dents gain this work experience. “There’s one thing that can not be taken away from you — that’s your experience,” said White said. She said most of the business es that offer co-ops turn out to be future employers for the stu dents who work for them. The National Commission for Cooperative Education reported that 80 percent of co-op students receive a full-time employment offer from their co-op employer. White said a co-op program may be an alternative for a stu dent who doesn’t know what ucle The mas .errorists 1 imed at a hat’s whe s to belie’ Time an Itories on tl uality plu1 ussia’s vai /eaponry a arted sho ings in Gc Althougl ough to a ggests th |dd up to tl his pluton untry, su< No one ci jppeared in ussian offi lutonium c or age.
