Our Unsystematic Health Care System, 4th Edition

by Grace Budrys

Writing in a conversational rather than academic tone, Budrys (sociology and health and public service, DePaul U.) examines the US health care system from such perspectives as hospitals and other health care organizations, the division of labor, alternative medicine, costs and cost containment, and reform. The 2001 edition was buoyed by prospects of Clinton’s reform proposals. Oh well.
