Rezensionen
From the reviews:
"This is a timely book on the business of U.S. medicine, how we got to where we are now and where we are going. ... This is a book for everyone who wishes to become conversant with and part of the healthcare debate in the U.S. ... an interesting book on the state of current affairs and one that has some value for libraries in schools teaching medical economics or finance. It is a must read for anyone involved in healthcare advocacy ... ." (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Review Service, December, 2011)
