[Jason]

This is a sweet read, and has been much improved over the first edition. An excellent introduction for those unfamiliar with financial concepts and/or the health care industry.

This might be a decent text if you have never worked in the healthcare industry. Or have never seen a balance sheet. Otherwise it is too basic and not worth the time or money.
