Editorial Reviews

Offers a proposed design for a state-level program to ensure adequate minimum health care regardless of ability to pay, by specifying both the particular services and the types of patients for whom the services can be considered basic. Juggles the technical, ethical, and sociopolitical problems of creating a basic benefit plan. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
