Delivering Health Care in America: A Systems Approach

It had a sharp tear on the front cover

Gonna use it for the semester and it’s good quality it came pretty fast

Ordered for a class. Realized quickly I wasn't going to need it and ended up returning it. However, it arrived in good condition and as described.

this book provides a good overview gf the US HC system, incorporating key definitions to understand the different levels of service, care, financing and general health care professionals description.At the time of publication, it was quickly anticipating the demise of the prevalent health care act without further analysis nor reasoning of why it was going to be repeled. Moreover, the authors do not address the ongoing challenges detractors of ACA had nor provides the reader with ideas of what the primary views were on what to replace with the ACA.Throughout the book, there is continuous criticisms of the prevalent system yet does not address the ongoing challenges of health care fraud nor those of the health care needs for veterans and minorities including ethnic groups.

I picked up this book after reading the Health Care Handbook and found that this has some very solid information, and left me feeling that I have a working knowledge of the US health care system. The reason for 4 stars is that the online materials accompanying this book are very lazy and not helpful. The comprehension quizzes are 10 questions of arbitrary importance, and the discussion questions are just open ended questions that don't have responses or answers anywhere to be found. I think if the authors supplemented this book with more quizzes and discussion questions it would provide a much better experience.

As advertised. Book arrived in good condition. Appropriate packaging to reduce wear and tear during transit appreciated, among other things. Outstanding customer service. Would visit again for books. Thank you Alin & Becky.

Great find

The book is up to date and quite useful for a graduate level class I am taking. The writing style is approachable but often quite dry.There are often several pages of quite busy graphs or tables but not enough synthesis or discussion of all of that data.

This book was required for one of my classes !!!!
