This book not only talks about the structure of US health care system, but also gives historic information on how the system was evolved, making chapter 9's discussion on "Health Care Reform" much more meaningful. The author gives a balanced view on all major issues (e.g. private vs. public delivery systems). The Epilogue alone is worth the price of the book!

This book could be very useful to anybody who wants to learn the basics of the US healthcare system. It is very well organized and easy to read. It is in a way work in progress since new editions are produced frequently by the experts in the field, which makes the book up-to-date and more valuable.

Good, solid, uncomplicated look at the economics of the health care system in America. I used it to produce a lecture for resident physicians.

Using this book for a graduate level policy and politics in nursing coarse. Very interesting. Got the book in good time.
