Trade Review"A thorough, detailed and clear explication of the convoluted workings of the US health care system, it is helpful and timely. . . Readers will find this book a useful guide to a health care system on the brink of change and to reform debates that are far from over." -- Beatrix Hoffman *

"In this extraordinarily timely book, Steve Davidson proposed a comprehensive revamping of our health care system based on a small set of eminently reasonable tenets. The critique of the current system is on target, and his proposed solution is fashioned with an acute awareness of the political realities." -- Thomas Rice, Professor * UCLA School of Public Health *
"Although many books have been written about the U.S. health care system, in
Still Broken Stephen Davidson does an excellent job summarizing the many and complex difficulties of that system. Beyond simply a thorough summary, however, Davidson also translates the information into a strategy for solving the health care system's problems. . . [A]n indispensable reference work. . . [A] must-have." -- Rochelle R. Henderson *

"Davidson's
Still Broken provides an important, rich understanding of how enduring and persistent problems in the American health care system have evolved over time. Admirably, he also offers a way out of this vicious cycle by changing the incentives in the delivery system and proposing how Congress might agree to a transformative shift." -- Colleen M. Grogan, Associate Professor, School of Social Service Administration * University of Chicago *
