In Health Care Policy and Practice: A Biopsychosocial Perspective, Moniz and Gorin guide students through the development of the American health care system: what it is, what the policies are, and how students can influence them. Part I focuses on recent history and reforms; Part II examines the system’s structure and policies; and Part III explores policy analysis and advocacy, and disparities in health based on demographics and inequities in access to care.

The book concludes with a discussion of the impact of social factors on health and health status.
