Health Policy
- Book Review,
by Harrington
From Book News, Inc.
Harrington (sociology and nursing, University of California-San Francisco) and Estes (sociology, University of California-San Francisco) look at policy issues at the forefront of modern health care delivery in an effort to persuade health professionals to add political work to their lives. Contributors overview health policy and the political process and examine health policy as it relates to the health status of the US population, the organization of the health care delivery system, and health care economics. This fourth edition places more emphasis on the uninsured, health access, quality of care, trends in financing, and international health.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
