Customer Reviews

The best book on the corporate takeover of health care.

The health care industry is complicated, but this book will make it less so for its readers. Sandy Lutz and her coauthors not only know their stuff, but also can write clearly and compellingly about the role of money in health care. Primarily intended for health care professionals, but relevant to all people working in American business, this book offers a clear-headed analysis of what today's health care entrepreneurs do that's right -- as well as what's wrong. My interest in health care is primarily policial, but even for readers whose interest social, clinical, financial, or just personal, no one should pass up this fine book.
