I am relieved anytime I find a textbook that is actually enjoyable to read. This is one of those books. The material is inherently dense, but the authors have composed it in a way that does not leave me trying to pull my hair out. Thus far, my only criticism is that certain parts of the book are already starting to appear outdated as a result of the rapidly changing issues associated with the ACA. This is obviously no fault of the authors, but a companion website with updated information would be a great idea.
This book basically floored me. I had no idea how screwed up our health care system was until I read this book. My eyes have been opened and to be honest, I am horrified. Its really scary to know that a First World Country such as America has such a poor, uncoordinated health care system. Third World countries have better health care than we do!! In summary, read this book! That way you will become aware of how the system is and not remain in the dark.
This book is a well edited, palatable treatment of a very complex topic. I was not looking forward to slogging through this material, but have to admit that Jones and Kovener have made it much less difficult than I had anticipated. I am thrilled that  had this title in paper back at the time I was looking for it and as usual, I paid a great price with very, very fast delivery.
This item was described as having a few wears on its cover page. However it arrived really worn out, the pages were bent and it had stains. This hurt me alot because it cost me 38dollars and i also payed for shipping.
A good book that brings out many issues within the United States and the Healthcare field. Difficult to find specifics at times when utilizing this for a Family Nurse Practitioner class. Overall definitely helpful for writing papers and for answering information about the current state of healthcare and where healthcare is beginning to go for the future.
It would be great if I could see the page numbers so I could go to the page the instructor is asking me to and site my sources off of it. I want to ask  to take back my digital subscription and rent the actual book. How does this issue not come up and get resolved?
Outdated, however it is still applicable in the issues of health care in the US. I did like to read about other comparative health care systems and liked the overall organization of the book. Read well for my class.
purchased for an upcoming class and it truly is as described!arrived in great conditions so it was packaged appropriately.Gave it a 5 star because it arrived sooner than expected and I am happy with this item.Interesting read!
