Helpful - but out of date, 2006-03-21
I had this text book overnighted to me due to the fact that my campus bookstore didn't have it in stock. I paid the shipping then found out later that the book had been updated and my classmates were all using the fourth edition. The editions are rather similar and the book is still helpful. There are enough "real time" examples as well as charts & graphs to make this a necessary text for Health Politics. The appendix section is also noteworthy.
