By virtue of being in foster care and receiving Medicaid, the health care many foster children receive frequently reflects the fragmentation that in many ways is often a feature of their lives. The authors offer an alternative, the HMO, that is not only a better, more cost-efficient provider of health care, but also tends to the psychological and social needs of foster children and promotes alliances among families, medical practitioners, and social workers.
