Review Quotes:
"Among the many commentaries on American health care, Health Systems in Transition: USA stands apart as the most comprehensive, objective, and contemporary overview. The data-driven book focuses on the United States, but interprets the performance of the US system in relation to other wealthy countries. Thise book will be an essential resource for health policy scholars and a valuable text for health services research students."
