In an open letter that follows, a former proponent of managed care describes how his group has let marketplace forces and greed jeopardize patients. The letter is addressed to the group's MSO physician shareholders, who've proposed selling the organization and its managed-care contracts--in effect, the group practice itself--to a capital partner. To preserve patients' privacy, names and identifying details have been changed. The author has been granted anonymity.
