Summary note
Gordon goes to the frontlines of federal policy-making and healthcare delivery to show how it affects eight million Americans whose military services makes them eligible for Veterans Health Administration (VHA) coverage. She describes a federal agency under siege. Though functioning better than most private hospital systems, the VHA may end up looking like them-- to the detriment of patients and providers alike. -- adapted from back cover
