Abstract:	This bestselling text is a concise and balanced classic presenting the domestic health care system. It explains the five major components of the U.S. health care system: 1. health care institutions (hospitals and nursing homes); 2. health care personnel (physicians, nurses, and others); 3. financing mechanisms; 4. research and educational institutions that produce biomedical knowledge and health personnel; 5. firms producing "health commodities" (such as pharmaceutical drugs and hospital equipment).
