group of five health care securities analysts discussed future changes in the industry. Their consensus: First, the pace of change is not likely to change dramatically, especially the shift to managed care. Second, growth in managed care market share will continue at about one to two percentage points per year. Potential growth areas for managed care are the small group market, Medicaid and Medicare.
