(openPR) - California State’s health committee has rejected a health care bill proposed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, which was intended to expand the coverage of California’s 3.6 million uninsured. The Senate committee stated budgetary woes as the reason for the rejection of the bill.
Although Schwarzenegger is undeterred in his efforts to see the bill passed, this recent obstacle to the realization of a reformed health care system is indicative of how the California – and the United States – looks at its health policy. There is a long history behind the US government’s current view of health care. The Xlibris book, “US Health Policy and Problem Definition: A Policy Process Adrift,” chronicles and analyzes this.
Written by health care analyst Frank Govern, US Health Policy and Problem Definition zeroes in on health policy formation in America and highlights the factors affecting the creation of health care policies. Govern underlines the impact of industrialization, labor issues and the employee-employer relationship on US health care system.
A self-published release, US Health Policy and Problem Definition points out how national health policy outcomes are determined by circumstances outside of the realm of health care. The book also presents an inductive and explorative case study of legislative debates on the health care issue to synthesize the roles and impact of external forces on the formation of national health insurance policy.
This book is something that would definitely encourage Governor Schwarzenegger, enlighten the California State health committee, and engage health care reform proponents.
US Health Policy and Problem Definition is available on the Xlibris and Amazon online bookstores.
