Reader Reviews
This review is from: Delivering Health Care in America: A Systems Approach, Third Edition (Delivering Health Care in America: A System Approach) (Paperback)
This book is near 600 pages, but it could be condensed to 300 easily: by cutting back on some simplistic flow charts and over-explanation. Maybe the goal was to make the book readable for the high school level, but I didn't find its style or level appropriate for a graduate (MBA) textbook. One further annoyance was the authors' shameless and open promotion of socialized health care. A more balanced take would give the authors greater credibility.
