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?

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
