- Summary
- "Japan has a healthy population compared with the rest of the world, yet the Japanese pay relatively little for medical care. This book analyzes how Japan's health-care system works and how it came into being. Although the authors discuss the drawbacks to Japan's stringent cost-containment policy, they also keep in mind the possible implications for reform in the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
