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.
