Completely expanded and updated to account for the latest changes in the U.S. health care system, this best-selling text remains the most concise and balanced introduction to the domestic health care system. Like its predecessors, it provides an accessible overview of the basic components of the system: healthcare personnel, hospitals and other institutions, the federal government, financing and payment mechanisms, and managed care. Finally, it provides an insightful look at the prospects for health care reform.

Steven Jonas, a revered expert in public health, has enlisted his colleagues, Drs. Raymond and Karen Goldsteen, to add their expertise in public health and health policy and management to this outstanding volume. All students of health care administration and policy, as well as practicing healthcare professionals who simply want a relatively brief overview of the system, will find it useful.

An Introduction to the U.S. Health Care System PDF

This book not only talks about the structure of US health care system, but also gives historic information on how the system was evolved, making chapter 9's discussion on "Health Care Reform" much more meaningful. The author gives a balanced view on all major issues (e.g. private vs. public delivery systems). The Epilogue alone is worth the price of the book!

By Hidden Dragon

Good, solid, uncomplicated look at the economics of the health care system in America. I used it to produce a lecture for resident physicians.
