In the past decade, the nation experienced an unusually active period in health policy with the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Historically, health policymaking has been a slow yet persistent evolution. The ACA, in spite of its magnitude, is an excellent example of the incremental evolution that characterizes policymaking in the United States. This book provides context and background for understanding the development of today's health reform legislation.

In the new edition of this widely used book, Beaufort Longest provides a framework for understanding the formulation, implementation, and modification of health policymaking at both the federal and state levels. Students will learn how policymaking relates to decisions that affect healthcare providers and patients. They will also gain insight into how they can influence the policymaking process. Incorporated in the book are excerpts from congressional testimony, news stories, executive orders, legislation, and other documents related to real-world policy issues.

Thoroughly updated and revised, this edition:

Discusses the ACA extensively, with examples of both its formulation and its implementation Expands coverage of policymaking's implementation phase Provides a new chapter on the role of courts in health policy and policymaking Includes more than 30 appendices, many brand new to this edition, to illustrate the policymaking process

Title: Good to keep as a reference
Review: Great book! Longest is a well known author on this subject and makes the reader understand the differences in policy development for those of us not as familiar with policy as others...I enjoyed reading and will keep this text for reference.

Title: Dry Read
Review: Dry read, but it's a textbook, what can you expect? The most interesting part is that this book was clearly written a decade ago so looking at the policies and hopefulness with which the future of healthcare had back then was both interesting and a gut punch given the state of things today.

Title: Needs some polishing
Review: This book has some good content but needs some polishing. This book is the assigned text for 1 of my Master's classes. In each chapter, you can probably read the 1st paragraph and then skip the next 2 - 3 pages. The book makes too many repetitive statements. The same point will be made over and over again in only slightly different wording. Needs a good editor to hack away at it and then the book could probably be reduced by at least 1/4.
