Reviews for Health Care as a Right of Citizenship: The Continuing Evolution of Reform
Almgren presents an extensively detailed and well-sourced story of the precursors to the Affordable Care Act of 2010, a principled critique of the ACA as it currently stands, and a proposal for the path (or paths?) forward. The book is beautifully written and a great read.
