Textul de pe ultima copertă

"A well-timed, compelling study, written for experts but also, thankfully, understandable by 'consumers.' Timothy Stoltzfus Jost shows why leaving health care decisions to a free market cannot work, even in the United States, while also emphasizing the importance of consumer choice in future policy decisions. Erudite, clearly argued, engaging, and fair."--Rosemary A. Stevens, author of "The Public-Private Health Care State "
