      abstract = {"In this classic text, William G. Weissert and Carol S.  Weissert describe how government and private interests help  define health policy. Under the Obama administration, the  federal government took a broadened role in setting health  policy and insurance regulations. But the succeeding Trump  administration and a Republican congress threatened to  dismantle the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its core  tenets. Chronicling these recent important changes,  Governing Health explores the political science theory  behind this and other major shifts in national health  policy. In this thoroughly updated edition, the authors  describe how party polarization, a virulent anti-government  movement, populist presidential politics, and the demise of  'regular order' in Congress shape and define a new approach  to health policy. This revised edition also: offers a  comprehensive synthesis of Obamacare, touching on  everything from Accountable Care and Pay for Performance to  insurance industry reforms; highlights the important role  of social media in building opposition to universal  coverage; tracks passage of the new Medicare physician  payment reform, MACRA; analyzes presidential executive  orders and administrative rulemaking in dismantling the  Affordable Care Act; examines the implications of Supreme  Court decisions on Medicaid expansion and state health  policy; updates all statistics, charts, and tables. This  new edition of a highly respected book guides readers  toward a deep understanding of modern health policy's  complexities. Drawing on compelling current examples,  Governing Health is a timely and essential  book"--Publisher's description.},
