description: Unhealthy Politics "This story, by a keen, long-time observer of the American health scene is a concise, lucid account of the many obstacles we have encountered in achieving a system of universal financing of health care. In spite of the set-backs, the author has a sense of optimism--that the gaps in health care can be closed and that it doesn't have to be this way. Everyone interested in equity in health care should read this book." Dr. Julius B. Richmond, MD, Harvard Medical School professor of medical politics and former U.S. Public Health Service Surgeon General “Jerry Brazda, from his long years as an astute observer of our political system, has given us a readable and informative account of one of our country's most infuriating public policy failures. Congress's repeated inability to enact comprehensive healthcare reform is an instructive example of how self-serving vested interests can trump public-spirited creative ideas. Brazda's indictment offers a chilling insight into our public life.” Jordan J. Cohen, MD, President of the Association of American Medical Colleges
