Editorial Reviews

A consultant specializing in health, retirement, and human resource issues, Graig updates her comparative study of health care delivery systems in six big industrialized countries. The second edition appeared early in the first Clinton administration when a general overhaul of the system seemed likely. Her focus is to explore what works elsewhere and could be folded into US reform should that ever happen. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
