This article describes managerial and professional beliefs underlying decisions to privatize public health services.

CRNAs who worked with anesthesiologists (Group I) were compared with those who worked in hospitals with no anesthesiologists (Group II). More than 75% of both groups were employed by hospitals, but Group II …
