2.0 out of 5 stars
Not Worth It!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jonas & Kovner's Health Care Delivery in the United States (Paperback)
I am a public administration student in a top ranked gradute program. This book was one course's required textbook and only because the editior, Anthony Kovner, was the instructor. While few students enjoyed the course, no one felt that this book is worth purchase. The only people that I would recommend this book to are foreign graduate students who have no working knowledge whatsoever about the US healthcare system. Otherwise, there are numerous books on the market that are cheaper and much more informative and intellectual.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent overview,

This review is from: Jonas and Kovner's Health Care Delivery in the United States (Hardcover)
A solid general survey of the US health care system. Provides demographic and comparative perspectives, discusses political and economic policy in a clear and balanced way, plus gives insight into the institutional settings and professional environments where health care carried out.
Each chapter is worthwhile and contributes to clarifying one aspect or another of the often bewildering U.S. health care industry.
