Author Laurene Graig analyzes the health care delivery systems in the United States, Canada, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom -- comparing and contrasting their health care systems with that of the United States. He makes expert and insightful assessments about what works . . . what doesn't work . . . and what promising new ideas are now being tested.

The third edition of Health of Nations is completely updated, including new information on developments in U.S. health care policy, incremental reform measures, and changes to the Medicare program. The growth and development of managed care, impact on the U.S. health care system, and the public backlash are also discussed.

The book is an excellent reference guide for students of international policy or anyone seeking information on U.S. health care reform.
