“Nancy Pelosi famously told us that we could find out what was in the Affordable Care Act once it passed. It is now five years later, and thanks to its convoluted concepts and its thousands of pages of rules and regulations few have wended their way through the ACA, and still fewer understand what it all means. Fortunately John Goodman, an expert on the American health system and a perceptive analyst, has studied the Act and has written the insightful book A Better Choice, that reveals what is in the ACA, what is wrong with it, and what could and should be done to provide cost-effective healthcare to our citizens.”
Description
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—a.k.a. Obamacare—remains highly controversial and faces ongoing legal and political challenges. Polls show that by a large margin Americans remain opposed to the healthcare law and seek to “repeal and replace” it. However, the question is: Replace it with what?
In A Better Choice, John C. Goodman clearly and concisely provides the compelling answer—no small feat, considering the complexity and intransigence of problems that have long plagued American healthcare. His prescription of four key reforms may garner the greatest attention as policymakers and the public search for a way out of the healthcare quagmire. For anyone who wants to learn about some of the boldest prescriptions designed to remedy our healthcare system, Goodman’s book is a must-read.
