In this volume, the nation’s leading advisors on health policy and financing appraise America’s ailing healthcare system and suggest reasonable approaches to its rehabilitation. Each chapter confronts a major challenge to the country’s health security, from runaway costs and uneven quality of care to declining levels of insurance coverage, medical bankruptcy, and the growing enthusiasm for health plans that put patients in charge of risk and cost.
