The American Health Care Paradox

“The American Health Care Paradox has enough intellectual heft to bring an opera house to its feet. Drawing on data from dozens of international and domestic site visits, wide-ranging scholarly studies and in-depth interviews with…staff from all over the world, the authors tackle the unenviable task of explaining why we think of health care the way we do… with astonishing clarity, conciseness and narrative ease.”-the New York Times
