About this title

Synopsis

Because of the peculiar history of how the U.S. Government has viewed health care as a market good, health policy formation has been and continues to be driven, not by reactions to problems as defined by rational federal health policy analysts and processes, but by situations and forces occurring external to the health policy arena.

About the Author

With the publication of his first book, U.S. Health Policy and Problem Definition: A Policy Process Adrift, Frank Govern establishes himself as a trenchant, unorthodox and independent analyst of the health policy process experienced in the United States.

For close to thirty years Frank Govern has had a distinguished career as a contributor to professional journals, an advisor and consultant, and a teacher of undergraduate and graduate courses in many different aspects of the U.S. health care system. Govern has also had first hand experience in and knowledge of the American health care system, as a health care administrator of a number of health care institutions, from the military to health care institutions in the private and the public sector.
