got it for class by W. Butler (Washington, DC)  4 Stars
September 20, 2008
The book was shipped promptly and in the condition it was promised. I have no issues with the merchant or book. The book itself is actually very informative for those with a limited understanding of the heathcare system and the economics behind it.
