I'm trying to wrap my head around how the healthcare system(s) here in the US work (and, for that matter, in other parts of the world). Lots of terminology -- eg Primary Care, Ambulatory Care, Urgent Care, HMO, PPO, etc -- and different players consolidating, allying, privatizing, profitizing, non-profiting, and more. It's still largely a mysterious soup to me, but here are some of the visuals I've come across. Note that several of these have been commissioned by partisans in the so-called US Healthcare Reform debates. Here's Dan Roam and Dr Tony Jones

None of these terribly satisfying. And I'm as confused as before.
