Description: "Despite the attention to the problem of protecting the interests of Americans in their health care, there is little consensus on what should be done politically or otherwise to address this problem. In Protecting American Health Care Consumers Eleanor DeArman Kinney, a nationally regarded expert on health policy and law, tackles the serious and ongoing debate among state and federal policymakers, health-care providers, third-party payers, and consumers about how to provide procedural justice to patients in the present health-care climate."--BOOK JACKET.
