Gr 9 Up-An excellent series entry that presents multiple sides of varying issues related to health-care reform. The first section offers varied perspectives about whether our system is even in need of reform. Chapter two delves into the ethics and effects of managed care, with opinions ranging from outright censure to arguments for its fiscal necessity. The next part examines the possible government initiatives that could improve our system, including patient-protection laws and whether or not patients should be able to sue their health-care plans. The final discussion looks at models for reform, especially in Canada, and proposals to set up (or argue against) various national health programs. Each chapter provides a balanced introduction; each essay includes information on the author and ends with a periodical bibliography for further reading. The volume concludes with a helpful glossary, questions for further discussion, a list of organizations to contact for further information, and an extensive bibliography of books. A welcome update to Health Care in America (Greenhaven, 1994), edited by Carol Wekesser.- Mary R. Hofmann, Rivera Middle School, Merced, CA
