Abstract
This primer sets the context for access improvement work by drawing the "big picture" of the American health care system and health policy. It gives an overview of the national healthcare system in terms of access, cost and quality. It also describes past efforts at health reform and current issues facing reformers, particularly those that concern coverage and care for the uninsured. Spanish translation.
