The Health Care Handbook: A Clear & Concise Guide to the United States Health Care System

This is a very readable book that requires no prior knowledge of the US healthcare systems. Highly recommended if you touch the US healthcare systems in any fashion. I work in the pharmaceutical industry, and the insights from this book are very valuable for my job. Physicians, practice managers, insurance industry and pharmacists will also benefit from the insights in this book.

Useful both to new doctors, post grads in medicine, and patients as well. Clear concise, factual, broad range of topic providing a very helpful overview of US healthcare. Useful for reference.

A great book for people who are not in the medical field and would like to be knowledgeable of how the US healthcare system works

Well written and well organised. This overview of healthcare field is good for those that are new to the field such as students or lay people that are directors of hospitals. This is a high level treatment of the subject but the book is thoroughly documented with footnotes to source material for further study.

Wow. What a great read! I am new to the healthcare sector in my position as a treasury management consultant for an international bank. This book gave me a fantastic backdrop to the industry, from how providers are organized to how this multi-trillion dollar financial engine runs (and the many pitfalls related thereto.) Like the authors state, this isn't a deep dive into any particular facet of the industry. It's rather a top-down snapshot of everything you need to know.Speaking of the authors... I wrote them to thank them for such a fine piece and had not only the pleasure of a reply but also the opportunity to speak to Dr. Moore. What a class act. I give this book my absolute highest recommendation!

Nice introduction into the field of Healthcare, helpful in understanding the breakdown of the ACA and the Insurance industry. Recommend

A must read for anyone trying to grasp the nuances of the American healthcare system. The writing is thorough but accessible. Particularly useful for those with a medical background who are looking to get a better understanding of the policies that are changing the modern health care system in this country.

This book was listed as a required book for a class and we did not end up using it once. I did glance through it on my own time and it appeared to meet all of my expectations.
