"...by far, the most comprehensive introductory text that I have come across. Nothing else that I have reviewed comes close. I find that although it is often used in graduate school curriculums, this text provides a wealth of information that allows me to pick and choose what I think is most important for my undergrads to focus on. I really like the "IDs" (or the terms that are highlighted in green throughout the chapters and then listed in the glossary along with a definition in the back of the text) as well as the questions at the end of each chapter."

"This extraordinarily comprehensive book describes and analyzes the U.S. healthcare system from a health policy perspective. It is both wide in scope and detailed in its analysis of specific problems and constraints encountered by the system. A very important section describes the probable future of the healthcare system given current trends. ... an excellent book for entry level graduate students in health systems analysis and health policy, health law, and public administration."—Doody's Book Review Service, May 2008
