Health Policy in the United States: Putting the Past Back In.(Critical Issues in Health and Medicine.) New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press. 2006. Pp. ix, 364. $24.95 Rosemary A. Stevens, Charles E. Rosenberg, and Lawton R. Burns, editors. History and Health Policy in the United States: Putting the Past Back In. (Critical Issues in Health and Medicine.) New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press. 2006. Pp. ix, 364. $24.95. 1.	Jonathan Engel +Author Affiliations 1.	Seton Hall University This volume of essays by notable medical and policy historians serves to fill in some of the gaps in our understanding of the historical development of health policy in the United States, correct some common misunderstandings, and in some cases provide an overview of existing literature. Most of the essays synthesize existing scholarship rather than present new material, but in doing so they often clarify ambiguity surrounding such troublesome topics as the evolving place of long-term care in the Medicaid program, the development of emergency room care, and the nature of the growth of federally funded biomedical research. The essays all address several key questions that plague historians of health policy, and which are enumerated by editor Charles E. Rosenberg in one of the book's two introductions. Rosenberg points out that the ambiguous role of markets in allocating health resources, the difficulty of evaluating healthcare outcomes, the “imminence and omnipresence of technological and institutional change, and the problems associated with parallel and uncoordinated systems of government all rise repeatedly in the essays of the volume. While it would be hard to describe the book as having an overarching theme, it is true that these questions and ambiguities arise repeatedly in the book's contents. If there is a single word to sum up this volume, perhaps it is “ambivalence.” Rosenberg sets the tone for ambivalence when he leads off his own contribution by claiming to eschew the word “system” when teaching about the U.S. health system, fearing that the word implies a greater level of coordination and intentionality than is in fact true. Other essays in the book reiterate this idea of ambivalence, whether in describing the historical development of our attitudes toward risk, the elderly, the government, the private sector, or even the term “patient.” Thus, although the essays take on particular facets of the historical development of various health policies (environmental health, research, long-term care, psychiatric, managed care) rather than trying to grapple with health policy as a whole, they each in a small way add to a picture of an ambivalent nation not sure who should provide medical care, who should pay for it, who should receive it, and how its practitioners and scientists should be trained. A number of the essays stand out. David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz continue their work on environmental health and toxicology in a nicely written overview of the evolving politics of environmental regulation (particularly as pertaining to lead), while Bradford Gray's article on the demise of Health Management Organizations (HMOs) is the first good scholarly piece on the recent evolution of managed care which acknowledges the profound differences between HMOs as originally envisioned, and the watered down Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) and Point of Service (POS) networks that we have inherited. And Robert Cook-Deegan and Michael McGeary's terrific essay on the National Institute for Health offers a nuanced look at how federally funded biomedical research has changed and grown since its inception after World War II. Not all essays are equally strong. An essay by Gerald Grob and David Mechanic on mental health policy to a large degree restates material covered by Grob in his own comprehensive trilogy on mental health in the United States, and Lawton R. Burns and Alexandra Burns's piece on the demise of the Allegheny Health System seems more relevant to the work of a healthcare financial officer than one concerned with healthcare policy. While it is always a pleasure to read Rosemary A. Stevens's work, her essay in this collection largely restates findings from her previous excellent books on medical specialization. These essays are written for professional medical and policy historians, although a few specialists in healthcare policy may find them interesting as well. As healthcare heats up, again, as an important topic in the 2008 presidential race, it would behoove all of us to gain a greater understanding of how, exactly, we got where we are today.
