Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xeKw5j. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study identified public hospital patients'preferences under managed care and health reform. Methods. A cross-sectional survey of 348 ambulatory public hospital patients was conducted. Results. Patients reported a high degree of loyalty to the public hospital given several hypothetical reform scenarios. Those patients who stated they would remain at the hospital increased (from 74.2% to 85.5%) when care elsewhere required copayment for medications and physician visits. Conclusions. Patients at one public hospital reported a high likelihood of remaining in the public system, and this likelihood increased when copayment for services was required elsewhere.
