The text brought healthcare in the US and other countries to light. The authors explained the concepts of our healthcare system and the drawbacks to the system. I recommend this to anyone to read to gain an understanding of healthcare in today's America.

If you are interested in the Health Care delivery, this is the book for you. Before opening the book it may seem intimidating but it is a good read. The material makes sense and the pages are filled with informative data.

It was perfect for my college course. It helped me understand policy-making, how it affects healthcare, and how we can get involved as healthcare professionals.

This book is a very superficial analysis of health care and a lot of the information is outdated. It is also very strongly opinionated.

The text is very informative and easy to read. Information up to date. Useful information in various classes and professionally.

Text book so it applies to the learning the outcome.

Well explained book for non- American learner.
