| Summary |
"Health care is political. It entails fierce battles over the allocation of resources, arguments over the imposition of regulations, and the mediation of dueling public sentiments-all conflicts that are often narrated from a national, top-down view. In 'All Health Politics Is Local', Merlin Chowkwanyun shifts our focus, taking us to four very different places--New York City, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and central Appalachia--to experience a national story through a regional lens"-- Provided by publisher. |
