This is a great health care law text book. While law can be a very dense and dry subject to read, this book breaks down the laws uses cases/vignettes to illustrate the interpretations and evolution overtime. It is current, and while it doesn't have the final version of the ACA included, it is still relevant. This is one of the few text books that I am holding on too.
