Features: Healthcare is a global challenge that often places a country's government in a dilemma. On one hand, the healthcare system must effectively ensure the health of all citizens and satisfy public satisfaction. On the other hand, it must control healthcare 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 healthcare system of the United States as a challenging research topic, holding significant practical and theoretical implications.
