Cynthia Moniz; Stephen Gorin
In Health Care Policy and Practice: A
Biopsychosocial Perspective, Moniz and Gorin guide students through the
development of the American health care system: what it is, what the
policies are, and how students can influence them. Part I focuses on
recent history and reforms; Part II examines the system’s structure and
policies; and Part III explores policy analysis and advocacy, and
disparities in health based on demographics and inequities in access to
care. The book concludes with a discussion of the impact of social
factors on health and health status.
This
new, fifth edition has been fully updated to include the Trump
administration’s efforts to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) and to integrate content throughout the text on the impact of
the ACA in recent years.
