Book Synopsis American Medicine and the Public Interest by : Rosemary Stevens
Book excerpt: This reissue offers an opportunity to consider the state of the American health care system. The text chronicles the development of the medical profession and shows how increasing emphasis on specialization has influenced medical education and public policy. It details specialization's effects on health care costs and on health care providers, as well as the implications of technology and the resulting ethical dilemmas, the issues of insurance, and many people's limited access to care.
