Review :

Very poorly written with countless typos and misspellings. Information is inaccurate. The book was clearly not written by someone who has actually ever worked in health care. Additionally, this book has an anti-nursing agenda. For such a large group a health care providers who play an incredible role, nursing was only mentioned briefly. In the few instances this profession was mentioned, blatant misinformation was given. Many of the valuable contributions of nurses to US health care were outright omitted. This book is read by college students who grow up to be hospital administrators. No wonder many have such a lack of respect for the nursing profession.

Great Book

Current, relevant and informative. It will help anyone who is in a Graduate level intro course. Not boring at all.

Fundamentals of US Health Care

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.
