"To permit lay people to join the continuing conversation about health policy issues," this compilation of US health care terms by a veteran Capitol Hill health policy analyst encompasses all the contentious concerns from "AAPCC" (Medicare's Adjusted Average Per Capita Cost) to "Zidovudine" (better known as the AIDS drug AZT). Appends acronyms, Congressional committees/ subcommittees responsible for health care policy (15 at last count), and sources of further information. Includes data tables and figures (e.g. on expenditures); and b&w photos of policy advocates, foes, and health care providers and recipients. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
