Health Care Politics, Policy, and Services: A Social Justice Analysis (Third Edition)
Por Gunnar Robert Almgren
"This newly revised edition of Health Care Politics, Policy, and Services makes its appearance at a pivotal crossroads in the evolvement of national health care policy and the nation's health care system. Over the next few years, as Congress grapples with the public's demand that the core policy aims and accomplishments of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) be retained while its shortcomings are addressed in new health care reform legislation, the defining question will not be whether the ACA per se survives, but rather whether its central premise and justification endure—that is, whether the benefits of American citizenship encompass an all-inclusive social right to an adequate standard of affordable health care. Although this book does not predict either the future of the ACA or the viability of any alternative approach to the financing of health care that might plausibly replace it, the chapters that follow provide the background knowledge, frameworks, and principles through which the adequacy of alternative health care system financing strategies can be analyzed."
