Building a Unified American Health Care System

Building a Unified American Health Care System by Gilead I Lancaster is a timely, clear-eyed examination of how the United States can create a coherent, equitable health care system for all Americans. From the opening pages, Lancaster captures attention with a compelling case for rethinking fragmentation in care delivery, financing, and policy across states and federal agencies.

Readers will find an accessible yet rigorous exploration of the forces shaping American health care today—policy choices in Washington, D.C., state-level innovation, payer dynamics, and the practical realities facing hospitals, clinics, and underserved communities. Lancaster blends evidence-based analysis with real-world examples to illuminate pathways toward greater efficiency, improved outcomes, and health equity across urban and rural regions.

This book appeals to policymakers, health administrators, clinicians, students of public health, and engaged citizens seeking actionable insight into US health care reform. It outlines pragmatic strategies for integration—spanning financing, information systems, workforce planning, and population health—while addressing the political and social challenges of implementation.

If you want a thoughtful, professionally written roadmap for transforming the American health system, this is an essential read. Practical, persuasive, and geographically attuned to the diverse needs of communities across the United States, Building a Unified American Health Care System equips readers with the knowledge to advocate for smarter policy and better care.
