**Affirmed position.** Corporate Governance and Financial Accountability: Recent Reforms in the UK Public Sector presents the following source proposition: Reflects on these developments and provides a critical evaluation of the markets and hierarchies literature by focusing specifically on recent developments in the governance of health and community care. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Governance of health care providers is distinctively complicated because directors must balance patients, physicians, taxpayers, the government, and shareholders, and substantial government involvement and liability through Medicare and Medicaid make the taxpaying public a stakeholder. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
