Summary

"This book is meant to wake America up to a coming public policy train wreck." So begins this no-holds-barred analysis of our health care crisis that explains why "blank check" medicine—unchecked spending and use of technology—is bad for our collective health. Healthcare experts Richard Lamm and Robert Blank explain why we need to embrace explicit rationing of medical care and take more individual responsibility for health, broaching subjects that are sure to generate discussion.
