Delivering Health Care in America, Enhanced Sixth Edition Includes Navigate 2 Advantage Access, is the most current and comprehensive overview of the basic structures and operations of the U.S. health system―from its historical origins and resources, to its individual services, cost, and quality. Using a unique “systems” approach, the text brings together an extraordinary breadth of information into a highly accessible, easy-to-read resource that clarifies the complexities of health care organization and finance while presenting a solid overview of how the various components fit together. While the book maintains its basic structure and layout, the Sixth Edition is nonetheless the most substantive revision ever of this unique text. Because of its far-reaching scope, different aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are woven throughout all 14 chapters. The reader will find a gradual unfolding of this complex and cumbersome law so it can be slowly digested. Additionally, as U.S. health care can no longer remain isolated from globalization, the authors have added new global perspectives, which the readers will encounter in several chapters. Key Features: - Comprehensive coverage of the ACA and its impact on each aspect of the U.S. health care system woven throughout the book - New “ACA Takeaway” section in each chapter as well as a new Topical Reference Guide to the ACA at the front of the book - Updated tables and figures, current research findings, data from the 2010 census, updates on Healthy People 2020, and more - Detailed coverage of the U.S. health care system in straightforward, reader-friendly language that is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate courses alike

I hope to give a somewhat objective review of this book, having actually read it. When writing this there was only one review of this book that gives a more-than-a-little skewed overview(and the author obviously only skimmed through the table of contents rather than reading its content). In this review I will briefly discuss the books content and hopefully guide some potential purchasers to know whether this is the book they are looking for.Its primary purpose is to provide an overview of the United States health care system. Additionally, it brings out some of the policy issues that the system is facing and as some of the history that led the system to where it is today.Overall, I would say it succeeds at its first objective. While it doesn't get into all the specifics of the industry, it at least explains the major aspects of most of the health care system's components. If you want the nuances of a particular issue, you'll have to go to a different book or head to the academic literature. If you just want a basic idea of how the US health system functions, then this gives a decent overview.The book struggles a bit more with the policy and history aspect. Anybody that has spent much time working in health policy knows that the historical events, the policy decisions and the unplanned results of legislation are so convoluted that it is impossible to cover them all in one book, let alone in just a few sections in one book. That said, if you, are starting from square one in regards to health policy and health care history, this does give you a very brief introduction, though the policy discussions are not as well-covered as the overview of the system as a whole.
