Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-01 00:00:00 Kerry Carson We definitely have a problem with health care. Our current system was designed when doctors in buggies were visiting patients at home. We spend more money per person with the poorest results of all Level 4 countries (see Hans Roslings data in Factfulness). We need sweeping changes that are non partisan. I'm not sure this book has the answers but we certainly need to find out. At least it's a great starting point.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-08-30 00:00:00 John Conner This book is clear, concise and straight-forward. Emanuel explores the many problems of our fragmented, fee-for-service health care "system." He analyzes many of the general suggestions for health care reform, including mandates, single-payer plans and incremental reforms, though proposing a system called the Guaranteed Healthcare Access Plan. It would provide 100% of Americans with universal health care vouchers, financed by a 10% dedicated VAT, to receive guaranteed care through private insurance companies. I was previously in favor of a single-payer approach and hesitant of a plan that would rely so much on private insurance companies, but he makes a compelling argument to why this plan may offer the best solution. I'll keep reading more about it.
