Health policy in crisis: why America spends so much yet experiences uneven care.
This nonfiction issue examines the nation's health system after World War II, looking at hospitals, medical education, and the various federal programs that shape care today. It analyzes why expansion and funding did not automatically translate into better access or quality, and how planning efforts have fared in closing gaps in services.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the crisis in health service provision in the United States, highlighting the poor health outcomes despite the high national healthcare expenditure. Drawing on decades of national efforts to improve the quality of care, the author argues that increasing consumer ability to pay for services alone is not sufficient to solve the problem. Instead, the author posits that the solution lies in improving healthcare systems and making them more widely available to consumers. Drawing on examples of successful healthcare models, the author argues that the focus should be on preventive medicine, accessibility, training of healthcare workers, and organizing medical care around the needs of defined populations rather than random career choices of individual professionals. The author places emphasis on organizing medical care and incorporating every citizen into an organized system of care for improved healthcare outcomes.
