Analyzing Form, Function, and Financing of the U.S. Health Care
System tells the story of the U.S. health care system by using a
narrative approach identifying function rather than the more common
data-driven focus on structure. It presents policy decisions we
have made about our health care system and analyzes some of their
consequences to better understand the choices we have. To
facilitate this, the book is divided into four major sections.
Section I is mostly "about" the health care system. It describes
several theoretical models that provide a foundation for the
structure of the U.S. health care system. Section II provides a
description of the form, or organization, of the U.S. health care
delivery system. It presents a comprehensive overview of the entire
health care delivery system, including identifying all levels of
care. Section III focuses on financing, beginning with a
description of the economic and political values that determine how
we finance our system. It describes health insurance, from the
perspective of both the consumer and the provider, and discusses
how money moves through the system. It concludes with a discussion
and analysis of cost and cost control efforts. Section IV describes
some of the more important efforts in health care reform, including
several targeted programs that are a significant part of the U.S.
health care system, such as Medicare and Medicaid. It also
describes other targeted programs within the U.S. health care
system and explores how other countries with economies similar to
that of the United States organize and finance their health care
systems.
