| 520 | 1 | |a "The aim of this book is to present the reader with a comprehensive overview of the U.S. health care delivery system. Americans have expressed a high level of dissatisfaction with the country's health care arrangements for many years, yet have been unable to come up with reforms that would address the main point of dissatisfaction: the steadily rising cost of care. One of the primary objectives of the book is to provide a clear explanation of the health insurance arrangements operating in this country - both public, such as Medicare, and private, which is generally employment-based."--Jacket. | |
