This book is a well-written, concise yet comprehensive update on changes within the health care system in America. Its emphasis on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act allows it to serve as a stand-alone textbook or as an adjunct to a broader text on health care. It should be a must read for new students to the field.

Thomas Nicholson, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green Kentucky

“This book is timely and a valuable resource for understanding recent changes in the American health care system. It adds significance to the broader discourse on health care reform in the United States. A readable text that is valuable to a broad spectrum of audiences including policymakers, professionals, health care analysts, and the general public.”
