This book is a must read for anyone concerned with the failure of the current system and looking for an alternative.  Colton’s proposal for universal health care is thoroughly explained, including:

• a description of services provided
• how we’ll pay for it
• how it is organized for delivery
• why it will save consumers money, and
• how it will ensure standards for quality and clinical effectiveness.

“In this incisive and comprehensive book, David Colton take on the formidable task of explaining how America’s health care system works, why it fails in terms of cost, efficiency and quality of care and why it must be reformed… an invaluable resource …” JILL QUADAGNO, Author, One Nation Uninsured: Why the US Has No National Health Insurance
