This new edition of the AJN Award-winning textbook analyzes the most current health care reforms and their effect on our health system from a social justice perspective. It addresses the reforms of the landmark health care reform bill passed in March, 2010, and provides students of health care policy with a framework within which they can understand and evaluate our health system. The text provides a comprehensive description and analysis of the historical evolution and organization of our health care system that is framed by a forthright social justice critique. In addition to extensive coverage of our health care system structures, finances, and performance on a variety of population health indicators, the text analyzes disparities in access to health and health care in America-by race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, and geography. Issues of special focus include long-term care policy, the bioethical dimensions of health care policy, the transformation of health to an economic commodity, the politics of health care policymaking, and the global context of health care disparities.

Wonderful text that provides a novel and useful approach to Health Policy. Issues of social justice and access are crucial to understanding the American Health Care System and its limitations. The text is well-written and provides comprehensive coverage. My students and I love this book. I highly recommend it and hope that the author continues to update it so I can continue to use it for years to come.

Great product and fast shipping!

OK book for an ok topic.

This book was really hard to process and understand because of that I didn't really read all of the things we were assigned to for the class I needed it for and I turned to other sources instead.
