\"Flowchart\"Flowchart Why We Wrote This Book, from the authors Elisabeth Askin and Nathan Moore <\/p>\n

We spent our first years of medical school struggling to educate ourselves about health care in the United States, but every source we found was biased, overly academic, or narrowly focused. It was too hard for a beginner to get a clear picture of the system. <\/p>\n

So we decided to write the book we wished we\u2019d had: an explanation of the U.S. healthcare system\u2026 in one simple, practical, and neutral overview. <\/p>\n

The U.S. health care system is vast and complex. Books about it shouldn’t be. <\/h3>\n

\u201c…an astonishingly clear \u2018user\u2019s manual\u2019 that explains our health care system and the policies that will change it.\u201d \u2014 The New York Times <\/p>\n

Finally, a practical, neutral and readable overview of the U.S. health care system \u2014 and in just over 200 pages. <\/p>\n

Written by two practicing physicians, the Handbook is essential reading for health care providers, health professions students, and the public alike. The updated 3rd edition of this best-seller includes new sections covering hospital re-admissions, drug pricing, and value-based care. <\/p>\n
