Book Reviews of Delivering Health Care in America: A Systems Approach

Book Review: Delivering Health Care in America A Systems Approach
Summary: 4 Stars

I took a summer class which used this book. It was interesting and very easy reading. If one works in the health field like I do, it reminded me of some issues and gave me other issues to think about. I would recommend it to a person who wanted a good overview of healthcare in the US, compared to other countries. The charts were easy to understand and the book was not full of charts and graphs that were unnecessary.
