This was a required book for my class but still, it is lightweight, and easy to read. Everything is explained so well. As far as text books go, this one wasn't bad at all and I looked forward to doing my readings for the class. Weird, huh?
Very informative and easy, short chapters. I would highly recommend this book to anyone needing it. It is very good at comparing US and foreign healthcare systems.
This book is a good resource material for health policy management graduate students or for those in the healthcare industry and need guidance on policy issues.
Good book, easy reading, interesting topics. I was able to get through a chapter w/o falling asleep...that's always a plus :)
