find?

ANS: C
One effect of managed care is that pediatric healthcare delivery has shifted dramatically
from the acute care setting to the ambulatory setting. The number of hospital beds being
used has decreased as more care is provided in outpatient and home settings. The number
of uninsured children in the United States continues to grow. One of the biggest changes in
healthcare has been the growth of managed care.
