Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Health Policy Comment: The book is brand new as described! Thanks for great service. Fast shipping. Great seller will do business anytime. Customer Rating: Summary: Helpful - but out of date Comment: I had this text book overnighted to me due to the fact that my campus bookstore didn't have it in stock. I paid the shipping then found out later that the book had been updated and my classmates were all using the fourth edition. The editions are rather similar and the book is still helpful. There are enough "real time" examples as well as charts & graphs to make this a necessary text for Health Politics. The appendix section is also noteworthy. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This book will demystify the complicated process of health policymaking. It provides a framework for putting the various aspects of policymaking into perspective and provides you with the background knowledge you need to understand the political environment. You will also learn techniques for influencing the policymaking process. Key aspects of this process are brought to life through many real-world excerpts from congressional testimony, news stories, and executive orders. New to this edition: Overview of Medicare and Medicaid that will clarify these complex policies. Expanded discussion of how to analyze and influence public policy, a skill that is increasingly important for leaders committed to improving care. Many additional examples of congressional testimony, news stories, and other documents that illustrate real-life policy issues.
