Law and the American Health Care System

This book examines the impact of law on the American healthcare system. It covers:
Access to, and nondiscrimination in, the provision of healthcare
The regulation of healthcare insurance, financing, and quality
The business of healthcare under antitrust, tax, and fraud and abuse laws
The book strives to link extensive legal discussion to the broader policy and social context that ultimately shapes healthcare in America. With discussion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act throughout, the book has been designed to serve both law schools and health and public policy programs. See more
