"In this readable and well-researched book, Ken Terry analyzes the current state of health care reform and finds it wanting. The prescription he writes bridges the gap between so-called liberal and conservative ideologies and offers a complete overhaul of our system for financing and delivering health care: one government-regulated insurer per region, which should have no role in managing care."--Jacket.
