The epilogue was written just as the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines received approval—a remarkable moment in US health care history. Interactions among local, state, and federal governments and information sharing within the health care industrial complex are the overall focus of analysis. From case studies of wellness among Alabama health care workers to analysis of Colorado hospitals' financial decisions and race-based health inequities in Chicago, this is an ideal textbook for courses on government impacts on health care, health care policy, and/or the COVID-19 response. Part lessons learned, part social commentary, part technological interoperability analysis, this is a well-referenced gem cast in straightforward language.
