Abstract
The political, social, and economic ideology fueling the movement toward privatization in health care may be characterized as “market populism.” Whether or not public health agencies retain their traditional roles in personal health services delivery, these organizations must serve as the predominant external source for quality monitoring, oversight, enforcement, and advocacy for communities in an environment that regards the private market as a panacea.Keywords
