Health policy in the United States has been shaped by the
political, socioeconomic, and ideological environment, with
important roles played by public and private actors, as well as
institutional and individual entities, in designing the
contemporary American healthcare system. Now in a fully updated
fifth edition, this book gives expanded attention to pressing
issues for our policymakers, including the aging American
population, physician shortages, gene therapy, specialty drugs, and
the opioid crisis. A new chapter has been added on the Trump
administration's failed attempts at repealing and replacing the
Affordable Care Act and subsequent attempts at undermining it via
executive orders. Authors Kant Patel and Mark Rushefsky address the
key problems of healthcare cost, access, and quality through
analyses of Medicare, Medicaid, the Veterans Health Administration,
and other programs, and the ethical and cost implications of
advances in healthcare technology. Each chapter concludes with
discussion questions and a comprehensive reference list. This
textbook will be required reading for courses on health and
healthcare policy, as well as all those interested in the ways in
which American healthcare has evolved over time.
