Landmark review
Its a well written and informative book about the new health reform policy, however quite political-as expected- since it is difficult to divorce politics from this policy but this makes you yearn for the other side of the story. On the whole, a very good read.

Medicare reinforced - The Dems have done it again!
If you really want to know what this law will do for you, dispense with the lies from the other side, and learn the truth.All of the other great social programs for the less fortunate faced the same wrath from the right.The rich really don't care, health care is of no concern to them.They just pay cash.

Landmark: The Inside Story of America's New Health Care Law and What it Means for Us All
Landmark: The Inside Story of America's New Health Care Law and What It Means for Us All (Publicaffairs Reports)

The book is well written and very easy to understand helping to clarify specific portions of the new Health Care Reform Law through the analysis of several Washington Post reporters.What is exceptional is that it contains the law itself so that anyone can read and see EXACTLY what this law does and does not do.With all the hype from so many sides this book and the actual law is a must read to understanding all elements of this reform.It is truly a "Landmark".I highly recommend it.I purchased this book through Amazon.com.

Not an inside story
I am a professor, looking for a case-study book on major legislative change, similar to Showdown at Gucci Gulch, or The Bill.Unfortunately, this book is not in that category. It has a couple short chapters describing the major milestones in the legislative battle, many chapters describing the tenets of health care reform (policy analysis style), and then a summary of the legislation itself. This is fine, in of itself, but it is certainly not "an inside story." the way that Showdown or The Bill was.Its also more policy analysis oriented than Policy Process oriented.It would make a good primer for an analysis of the health care reform bill.

Rehash, not coordinated
This book is just a rehash of content that was in the paper and provides no depth. Also, the articles were not coordinated and in places material is repeated multiple times. ... Read more

Great seller !
Item comes on time. The item condition as described. Definitely a recommended book seller !!

Great Intro to Law of Healthcare Administration
A well-organized, well-written textbook, with the right mix of discussion, analysis, and excerpts from case law.Style is very matter of fact; good handling of technical legal issues to make them accessible to lay (or at least non-attorney) readers.Used it to teach law course at a public health school, and students seemed to feel the book was very good.

Excellent shape, saved me $100.
First time I ordered textbooks online. I returned the used copy I initially purchased from my college and purchased this one. I saved $100 and the book was in excellent shape.

Book Review
I received the book promptly and without any trouble. The book was in great condition as promised by the website. I was extremely satisfied with this purchase.

A definite upgrade from the old version
I'm using this text for a graduate level course, and it is a terrific resource.Our professor is one of the top health care lawyers in the state, and he is of the opinion that this text is leaps and bounds improved over the last version.I recommend it. ... Read more

Product Description
For more than two decades, Health Law: Cases, Materials and Problems has defined the field of health law, providing a balanced overview of law as it affects patients, professionals, institutions, and entities that deliver and finance U.S. health care. Health Law comprehensively treats topics concerns such as the oversight of quality (including the latest developments in patient safety), cost control (including consumer-directed health care), guarantees of adequate access to services, exempt-organization tax issues, transactions and relationships among health care professionals and providers, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and malpractice litigation. Written without a policy bias to fairly reflect all viewpoints, the book considers legal and ethical issues involving death, human reproduction, medical treatment decision making, and medical research. It also explores the government's efforts to control costs and expand access through Medicare and Medicaid and examines government attempts to police anticompetitive activities, fraud, and abuse. Using carefully edited primary materials and effective classroom-tested problems, the book exposes students to the core issues in health law. ... Read more

OK
The book was in decent shape. It had quite a bit of notes in the margin and highlighting. I was expecting it to have minimal amounts of the things described above. It works though.

Health Law Book

Review of Health Law: Cases and Materials
This book offers a comprehensive review of various issues in Health Law.It covers topics ranging from ERISA to Stem Cell Research.The authors did a great job researching each topic but did not really organize the information efficiently.They could have done a better job of using more extensive and topic organized notes sections after cases to explain complex issues like ERISA preemption or embryo parental rights.As a result, many times I felt the cases were compiled without really allowing the reader to understand the significance of each case with respect to the topic at hand.

Product Description
Problems in Health Care Law, Ninth Edition has been extensively updated and restructured to utilize the "problems" approach. The text highlights general principles and emphasizes areas that remain most problematic. This classic book deliberately seeks to state expressly the general principles - both of the underlying conflicting public policies and the legal solutions to those problems. This edition has been restructured into a format that emphasizes the problems of health care law by heading sections with a question. Problems in Health Care Law, Ninth Edition continues to provide the helpful one-volume overview of health care law that it and its predecessor Problems in Hospital Law have provided since 1968. ...

Great condition.

The book itself, i had to borrow from my professor is very long and in depth about law. For the common folk, this book is not recommended, very complicated language used. ... Read more

This booklet doesn't deliver on the title's promise
I purchased this booklet because I was impressed with Betsey McCaughey's passion for the subject in TV interviews. I hoped it would provide facts to share with friends and family about how much of our freedom and privacy has been sacrificed in the name of reform. The text tiptoes around these issues, but it lacks focus; it deals with just two of the law's provisions, the changes to Medicare and the individual mandate. Unless you've been living under a rock, you won't learn anything new from this booklet. It isn't even close to a complete summary of the major provisions of the law. By sheer coincidence, I received an 8-page document from my insurance company the day this booklet arrived. It offered a much more complete (and worrisome) year-by-year description of the law's provisions, for free. I can't say whether the book was poorly written, destroyed in editing, or both, but it was a complete waste of money.

"Twenty pages should be enough"
A key point made by Betsey McCaughey is that there is no reason for a health care bill to be roughly two thousand pages long. "Twenty pages should be enough," declares the former lieutenant governor of New York. This relatively short pamphlet is of great value to those who need to quickly get a handle on the current crisis. We have the best health care of any large country in the world. The medical professionals living in the United States also lead in the effort to develop new medicines. ObamaCare threatens our freedoms---and ultimately the health of our loved ones. We will also be financially bankrupt. Everyone should heed McCaughey's great advice.It might also behoove you to purchase a number of copies to give to your relatives and friends.

this is book is "used" but it is in perfect shape!! i love my results, i highly recommend!!!!!!

California Mental Health Law
Useful book.Written in easy to read and understand language for those of us who do not enjoy wading through otherwise dull and dry text of legal and ethical codes.In each chapter the authors respond to questions posed with thoughtful and clear responses.A part II of this text would be great and I for one, would purchase it if it were in the same format.

Outstanding coverage, best prep for CJPEE
This text clearly and concisely covers the most critical and challenging aspects of California mental health law. No legalese or unusual jargon, just common sense answers to your most frequently asked questions. I used this text to prepare for the CJPEE and I could not recommend it more highly. It's an interesting read and very helpful to the practicing therapist.

Required reading for every mental health professional
This book, one of a series on mental health law in different states, should be required reading for every practicing mental health clinician.First in a narrative section and then in a question-and-answer format, the book covers key aspects of the law (civil commitment, guardianship, confidentiality, subpoenas, consultation, criminal issues, liability and record-keeping) that are relevant to, and affect, clinical practice.It covers these issues with thoughtfulness, elegant writing and with empathy and respect for the reader.And, it makes the law alive, vital and exciting.Reading it is like listening to a very intelligent conversation that explains how the law understands, and supports, the work we do and invites us to think about the process of meetings its standards.

Although focused on Massachusetts law, I suspect that the book could also be helpful to clinicians from other areas because the issues addressed cut across state lines.The book teaches us about the law while weaving a story about the way the law interacts with, and informs, clinical practice.The book also shows us how the law has broadened the context of clinical practice to take the public welfare into account.The book teaches clinicians how to think about legal and ethical conflicts, how to approach these dilemmas in an intelligent way and how to protect ourselves from legal violations.For instance, the section on the landmark Tarasoff decision, which has affected practice in every state, covers the California decision in detail, the way it has been modified to fit mental health practice in Massachusetts and how it gets played out in actual practice.

This book is an important reference work that clinicians will want to consult often as a very readable guide to ethically and legally sound practice.I recommend it highly ... Read more

Product Description
The estimated annual cost to society of health and safety failure is GBP18bn. The Government has recently set out targets for the first time which aim to reduce the impact of these failures by 30% over the next ten years. The last decade has seen significant changes in the approach to health and safety legislation. It is no longer just dangerous industries for which regulation is vital. The rise in service sector industries has meant an increase in employees being exposed to risks such as musculo-skeletal injury and stress-related illnesses. At a time when both public and private sector organisations are becoming ever more aware of the importance of promoting positive public images and enjoying good standing among stakeholders, safety specialists are keen to persuade managers to take a more comprehensive view of how health and safety can contribute to wider business objectives. It is no longer enough just complying with the minimum requirements of the law. ... Read more
