My MBA program required this text. It was actually better than I expected. Very up to par with the current health dilemma. I liked the recommendations and predictions in this text and hope you also like it. The facts were interesting.

We’re using this text in an intro to health care delivery for an MPH program. While I don’t disagree with the authors and their bend toward a different health care system, I must say that the text often seems biased. The criticism of a medical treatment model is clear, but few disadvantages of MCOs have been as forthright. It seems to me that the job of textbooks should be to present the facts, or at least disguise the authors’ preferences a little…for ex, the text clearly paints a picture of the AMA’s role in manipulating the health delivery system in favor of higher status for a medical model and the perpetuation of doctors’ power and prestige, then a few chapters later portrays the current system as a reflection of American culture and values. Seems that the system is a reflection of the power of the AMA, mostly upper class white men, than a reflection of me or America.
