""Selling Teaching Hospitals and Practice Plans joins John Kastor's three other excellent volumes in a series that uniquely documents how the vast changes in the U.S. health care system have led to the restructuring of leading American academic medical centers. Like its predecessors, it is superbly researched, well organized, and an engaging read. It is must reading for all those involved in health care, hospital administration, and medical education.""
