Abstract
Managed care organizations (MCOs) have become prime targets in the new medical malpractice litigation, but getting a judgment against an MCO can be difficult. It is argued that courts should impose a tort-based implied warranty of quality on MCOs, under which they would be liable for selling physician services that are negligently rendered.
