Book rieview (Health Policy: Crisis and Reform in the U.S. Health Care Delivery System)

Book Review – Critical Thinking through Writing (CTW) Designation: Another component of your grade will be a review of a book of your choosing (subject to my approval) related to health policy. You must notify me (through email) of your first choice of book by Feb. 10; failure to do so will result in a loss of 10 points (out of 100) on your book review. The final review is due though email by April 29. Late reviews will be penalized at a rate of 10 points per calendar day, and may also result in you receiving a temporary grade of “incomplete” for the course. The review must be a minimum of 5 full pages (using one-inch margins, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 font, no more than three header lines on the first page) and a maximum of 7. Your review can be organized however you want, but should include the following components: the introduction, summary of the book, discussion of aspects of the book you liked and disliked (based on sound economic reasoning), conclusion, and references. You must incorporate economic concepts and provide a detailed, thoughtful analysis of the book, not simply a summary. The best reviews will critically evaluate the book through the eyes of a health economist, using the concepts learned in this and other economics courses. Be sure to thoroughly cite your sources; failure to do so will be treated as plagiarism
