"A welcome discovery for busy medical students: a quick, easily digestible, yet comprehensive description of the US health care system's organization and financing. The book summarizes the evolution of the health care system over the last two centuries and presents a brief lesson in health care economic theory. Perhaps most important, it thoroughly describes the multiple payer and delivery systems that constitute American health care, focusing on the interests of patients, providers, and third-party payers in three neat chapters.. Provides the necessary information and does so in a surprisingly enjoyable and streamlined way."-- Journal of the American Medical AssociationStoline, Anne M. is the author of 'New Medical Marketplace' with ISBN 9780801845826 and ISBN 0801845823.
