Summary

The contributors to this book have been deeply involved with issues of health policy for many years, issues which have otherwise been little studied and less understood. If nothing else, President Clinton's initiatives seeking comprehensive health reform have given renewed vigor and legitimacy to voices heard before only in the wilderness. And yet these matters are now - and have indeed been for many years - of acute importance to a society dealing with shrinking budgets and profound cultural changes.
Critical Issues in U.S. Health Reform addresses more definitively than any other current source the major issues that confront the parties to debates that will shape the legislation Congress is likely to pass before the end of 1994. The volume is essential reading for health officials, scholars, and policymakers as well as anyone wishing to stay current with ongoing debates over health reform.
