Description: "Are you fed up with hearing that the American health care "system" is broken? The system is terminal: the bills that cannot be understood - or paid; your eight-minute doctor visit, with the chronic referrals; your own child who was just laid off, and whose family has no health insurance." "These are all symptoms of a dire situation. Our health care system should not be fixed by those in smoked-filled backrooms or the boardrooms of insurance conglomerates. Each of us, in our own way, must be inspired to work on it - whether directly as practitioners or indirectly as voters - or our health care system and, by extension, our own health will continue to deteriorate."--Jacket.
