Summary:"Guzick's premise is that the United States has a health care industry as opposed to a health care system. His book is organized around three elements of health care delivery: access, quality, and cost. He introduces the economic principles behind the function and dysfunction of the health care industry's flawed market. He analyzes how we came to have the industry we do and explores alternative financial models for the future"--
