Features: Healthcare is a global challenge, often placing governments in a dilemma. On one hand, the healthcare system must effectively ensure the health of all citizens and meet their satisfaction. On the other hand, it must keep medical expenditures within an acceptable range to avoid financial crises in healthcare, which could hinder macroeconomic development and citizens' health. Different countries, due to variations in economic development levels, political systems, social systems, and cultural traditions, adopt different strategies and establish distinct healthcare systems when facing the same issues and challenges. Research on these healthcare systems will greatly enrich our experience, broaden our research horizons, and deepen our understanding of healthcare issues. Therefore, this book takes the U.S. healthcare system as a challenging research topic, holding significant practical and theoretical implications.
