This best-selling textbook remains the most concise and balanced introduction to the United States health care system. Providing an accessible overview of the basic components of the system, this latest edition is also entirely updated to address the health care reform bill of 2010 and subsequent changes to health care services, delivery, and financing.

Provides a comprehensive understanding of the unique history, economics, orientation, function, activities, and mission of public health. This concise reference describes the successes and failures of the public health care system, giving students a clear picture of the current status of the health care industry.

Based on unedited interviews conducted between 1979 and 1986, this work argues that the mistrust and anger that followed the disaster at Three Mile Island changed the way residents of the stricken towns Goldsboro and Newberry view government, technology and private enterprise.
