商品簡介
Taking a different approach than textbooks that devote chapters to consumer issues related to specific health conditions, Butler (retired, Delaware State U.) weaves these topics into up-to-date discussions about consumer decision-making skills; alternative, complementary, and integrative therapies; and medical advertising and economics. He compares the US health care system with that of other developed nations, and addresses fraud against the system, health insurance, and insurance reform. The text includes trend data, case examples, guidelines, study questions, a glossary, and access to a companion website with student and instructor resources.
