I am using this book to guide me through a self-study of the U.S. health care system. This textbook was used in a fall 2008 course on the U.S. Health Care System taught by Peter Budetti, M.D., J.D., at the Department of Health Administration and Policy, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. While only four years old, this 9th edition is already out-of-date in some ways, since so much has happened recently as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordability Act of 2010. But it's a good place to start.

I'm blogging about my self-study experience, and current events at the intersection of health care policy and politics. If you are interested in my blog, visit [...]

For members of the healthcare profession or a studious lay person. this provides a very good review of the current "nonsystem". Gives pause about how current legislation could improve it for all citizens.

I bought this book for a course I was taking, as it was mandatory / required. It was appropriate for use in a grad school-level class (at the time) but with recent / ongoing changes in the American health care system, it may no longer be up-to-date. I purchase it here since it was significantly less online as compared to the cost in the average university's campus bookstore.

This is a well-organized and researched text. Yet, it is very biased toward incorporating socialized medicine into the US Health Care System.

I have more insight of what the public health system is and how it works. Delves into many health aspects and gives more resources for the reader.

Excellent overview of our healthcare system. Possible it will become dated in a few years... but that's bound to happen with the ever-changing direction of the industry.

I was required to buy this book for a masters level class, "Systems of Healthcare Delivery". Although I had to read the book, it was everything that I could do to force myself to do it. This book is exactly what the critics of liberal bias and indoctrination are talking about when it comes to universities.

I really enjoyed my exprience on Amazon.com

The book is intense in terms of health policies knowledge.

great book.

This was the first time I bought a text book on line vs going to our local school book store. I was worried about buying the wrong book, but it was the same book for much less. Thanks. I WILL be comming back to look for next semesters books.
