Summary:
"Representing a sizable portion of the American economy, few industries in the United States have received more attention from the press, legislators, and antitrust agencies than the health care industry, particularly in recent years. The health care industry is also one of the most complex and dynamic industries in the world. In the eleven years since the publication of the fourth edition of this handbook, individuals and companies in the industry have had to grapple with significant changes, including new laws and regulations, changes in managed care contracting, and a variety of significant economic pressures--and the antitrust agencies have promised to keep up with these changes and continue their robust enforcement in health care markets." -- Publisher's website
