Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Raudenbush’s Health Care off the Books provides a compelling account and an indictment of the American health care system, one that simultaneously drives low-income residents to engage in risky behavior and physicians to skirt the edges of medical ethics. In a time of growing health care need amid a global pandemic coupled with economic strife, her book should be required reading for students of medical sociology and medicine alike."
* American Journal of Sociology *
