Terrific overview of American public policy on health care.
This book was assigned for a relatively intro-level to U.S. healthcare policies. Not only is it over-priced, but the paper is incredibly flimsy for the price that they are asking for and NO COLOR!. $150+ for this!? It's bad enough that so many terms, concepts, and theories are introduced and just left hanging. WHY do I need to look up a better explanation of these aspects of healthcare policy when I just bought a very expensive textbook that should explain it to me?
