Essentials of the U.S. Health Care System
by By Shi, Leiyu and Singh, Douglas A.
Category: Health & Fitness , Health Care Issues

Shi (health policy management, Johns Hopkins U.) and Singh (public and environmental affairs, Indiana U.-South Bend) offer a condensed and simplified version of their standard graduate and senior-undergraduate textbook Delivering Health Care in America: A Systems Approach. It retains the essentials but drops much of the data and technical detail, and is designed for junior college students and as a supplement in other courses.
