Award-winning author Roth solicits the contributions of health workers from around the globe to examine the mire of technical quality and inefficient delivery that has become the U.S. healthcare system. He looks at various challenges, discussing how these are dealt with by 12 nations, all of which, according to WHO, rank higher than the U.S. in terms of services provided. Roth draws from the best to design an idealized model for healthcare that would fit this country's unique requirements. Researched and referenced to satisfy policy professionals and administrators, the book is written to provide all stakeholders with a fresh understanding of what is valuable and viable.
