Health Care for Children

With contributions from leading experts in the fields of pediatrics, public health and health policy, this book addresses the health and health care of children in the United States and lays out a systematic child-specific standard of care. An up-to-date analysis of the current state of health care delivery for children is followed by suggestions for ways in which coverage and care can be improved. Particular attention is given to the pros and cons of managed care services. This book is a practical resource for legislators, advocates, and health care professionals involved with this fragile and often neglected population.
