Product Description Fundamentals of US Health Care: Principles and Perspectives takes the broad, complex topic of health care in the United States and presents it in a digestible, easy-to-read format. Focusing on some of the fundamental issues facing the health care system today, this book delivers simple, objective coverage of key topics including cost, access, quality, financing, manpower, and public health. By blending current, factual data, basic principles, and multiple perspectives on controversial issues, the book provides a balanced approach to the core issues facing the health care industry. Case studies and vignettes throughout allow readers to explore how these problems impact real-life situations and hone their critical thinking skills for their professional careers. Review "After a quick run through, I am convinced that you have a real winner here. It is certainly an attractively printed book with excellent illustrations and contrasting print to highlight different sections. The scope of the topics covered and the issues of concern are impressive. After reading some of the chapters that I was particularly interested in, I was impressed with how well they were covered for a novice (student starting out in the subject). If such a student wants to learn more there are citations that they can read in more detail. If I were teaching Health Policy and Administration 101, I would definitely assign this book as required reading. I am sure this book will become the preeminent textbook for such a course. Congratulations on a job well done." -Stanley P.
