If youre interested in a look at burgeoning US public health transformations in the post-Affordable Care Act age--in a manner tBy ScottDr. Singhs book presents a unique and valuable perspective about contemporary US healthcare from a vantage point few others could provide. Trained as a physician-scientist who carried his expertise into public health and health systems engineering; Dr. Singh builds poignant and nuanced stories of individual patients and practitioners and effectively elucidates their meaning and essential importance to the larger story of contemporary health care. Dr. Singh writes in a manner that is one part literary writer; one part social scientist; and one part systems engineer. The solutions presented in Part III of this book provide an outstanding topology of the methods and means by which innovators in public health will create more dynamic and robust health systems in the coming years and decades. If youre interested in a look at burgeoning US public health transformations in the post-Affordable Care Act age--in a manner that is accessible and enjoyable to read--this book is an great place to start.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Landmark in Urban Sociology and Public HealthBy Warren IlchmanDr. Singhs book is the best combination of urban sociology and public health knowledge available in print. Using his archetypical Ray; Singh goes from knowledge of neighborhoods to availability of health resources and returns with trenchant recommendations. I know of no other analysis that achieves such a synthesis.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerGreat
