Delivering Health Care in America by Douglas A. Singh, Leiyu Shi Ph.D. (2007, Paperback)

The book was as described in the ad but there was just a little more highlighting than I expected. Came on time.

Needed book for a masters class. Found it to give an interesting perspective to the US healthcare system. Good read.

The book was in great condition. Very few writings in the book and nicely packaged. The delivery time was terrible though. It came 2 and half weeks after I ordered it. Almost to the last day before you can report the order.

I had to purchase this textbook for a graduate nursing college class. As it turns out, it is very well written and very easy to read. The authors do an excellent job at presenting the subject which is always appreciated by students.

Sweet deal, thanks a bunch for Delivering Healthcare in America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent seller....easy transaction....good delivery!!!! A+++++ The book was purchased for school as a requirement!

I bought this because I needed it for a class. The seller's description of the book was 100% accurate!

I bought this book for school and have been struggling to get through it because of its blatant bias and unacknowledged self contradictions! I was looking forward to a thoughtful historical and evenhanded critical analysis of this very important issue. Instead the authors clearly believe that money for healthcare is limited and scarce (but we can afford to pay Kelsey Grammer a million dollars per episode of Frasier?!) and therefore that the government should take over all healthcare management to control costs (what about the $600 toilets seats the government's GAO office was buying a few years back?!) and to increase efficiency (when did the government become efficient?); and that only the Democrats will get us to this efficient, cost-effective centralized government plan. (that may be true). They also assert that doctors are only out for profit and their incomes should be limited. So we can pay a couple of million dollars per football player who is an entertainer; but a person who stands for untold hours doing delicate surgeries, or delivering newborn babies, or balancing chemotherapy regimens to kill cancer without killing the patient - this person is the one who should have a salary cap? Further the authors believe that the government should dictate how many doctors of how many specialties in how many square miles there should be. Further it purports to promote universal access to healthcare but it only means primary care medicine. A system of rationing would be in place to limit care to those with "excessive" needs for technology or support. (Watch out transplant candidates, premature newborns and open heart surgery patients!) It is more disheartening to see the failures of logic that the authors do not seem to perceive in their own content. A very patronizing and deceptive book.
