Description:
This brief volume describes each of the five major components of the American healthcare system—healthcare institutions, personnel, financing mechanisms, research and educational institutions, and firms producing medical equipment and drugs. The role of the government, and the possibility of national healthcare reform, receive special attention. Jonas teaches preventive medicine at State University of New York, Stony Brook
