I'm interested in the subject matter and I just can't bring myself to read this book. The writing is convoluted and hard to follow with overly complicated sentences. I've read some pretty esoteric textbooks and this is the worst by far. Professors, please don't put your students through the same pain I'm in.
This book was required for a class. It provided thorough information about each country's healthcare system! Well written and great as a future resource!
The Internet code is missing, I understand that is not a new book, but this kind of information would be necessary in the description of the item.
