Essentials of Health Policy and Law: .

by Joel B. Teitelbaum, Sara E. Wilensky, Sara E Wilensky

Essentials of Health Policy and Law provides students of public health with a firm foundation of the basics of American health policy and law.

Given the prominent role played by policy and law in the health of all Americans, the aim of this book is to help readers understand the broad context of health policy and law, the essential policy and legal issues impacting and flowing out of the health care and public health systems, and the way health policies and laws are formulated. Think of this textbook as an extended manual--introductory, concise, and straightforward--to the seminal issues in U.S. health policy and law, and thus as a jumping off point for discussion, reflection, research, and analysis.



Chapters are structured to allow for the teaching of policy and law in tandem or separately.
Includes a chapter on analytic skills for public health students, including how to write a policy analysis.
Each chapter includes discussion questions to engage student reflection.
May be paired with Essential Readings in Health Policy and Law --a compilation of carefully selected readings meant to allow for deeper analysis of issues covered in this textbook.
A complete package of instructor resources.

I used this textbook for a Health Policy and Politics doctorate course. It is very to the point and easy to understand. Great for use as a reference if you are interested in learning how health policy and politics works.

Having worked in politics in a previous life I didn’t reference this book much during my policy class other than quick skimming of chapters to make sure I knew what was on the quizzes , but it’s a great book for people unfamiliar with the topic to get foundational knowledge on the topics

Used for my Healthcare Policy & Law course during my first semester of my Health Informatics & Data Analytics Master's Degree program. Does a good job of explaining the two chambers of congress, the senate and the house. Learned a lot about policymaking.
