Summary: "This is the ninth edition of An Introduction to the U.S. Health Care System, now titled Jonas' Introduction to the U.S. Health Care System. It was our privilege, and indeed it was an honor, to be asked by Dr. Steven Jonas to coauthor the sixth edition with him in preparation for assumption of full authorship of subsequent editions. The intended transition from Dr. Jonas to us came about, and we hope that this edition of the classic text about the health care system in the United States carries on the tradition of excellence begun more than 30 years ago by Dr. Milton Roemer and continued by Dr. Jonas"-- Provided by publisher.
